I need a new fork for my 22" fixed gear steel Trek to replace the crap replacement that's on it just-now after a crash.
I have seen a couple on ebay that I might fancy - I want to stay threaded and the steerer tube has to be at least 175mm which narrows it down a bit.... I'm also obviously limited to sellers that ship worldwide.
At the moment I think either this one:

or this one:

The Serotta would probably suit the frame a bit more but the schwinn is much nicer... any other suggestions?

Wow, I like 'em both. The crown on the Paramount is very cool, very old school.

Both are very nice. The Schwinn has the Campy ends and the nice chrome and flat crown. On the other hand, the Serotta is a Serotta and the sloping crown and lug work are beautiful. I don't think you can go wrong.
