fuji feather fork

I was wondering if anyone else makes a 1" fork like what's on the newer fuji feathers. I tried looking for just the forks on sale but couldn't find anything. Thanks.

What color are you looking for? If you're okay with 1" threadless, you may be in luck.

you are best off getting the OEM fork and contacting the MFG. They usually aren't too expensive ($50-$70). I put an aftermarket fork on, and the 5mm difference in offset screwed up the handling. Anything under 5mm change probably isn't too big a deal on the road, but you should do some research to understand what you are doing if you don't get offset pretty darn close to what you started with.

this is what they e-mailed me:
"It sounds like you are looking for a fork, and we do not sell or make available any of our Fuji forks for aftermarket sales. The only way to get a Fuji fork is to buy a Fuji bike unless a private seller is selling a used one.

Thanks for contacting us,

if anyone knows the specs on the iro fork, they don't have it posted on their website. my LBS said they can get a custom fork made for a good price so i can get one made to factory specs.

E-mail Tony and ask. He usually responds to e-mails within a few hours of sending.

That is just lame. I bent a KHS fork, and the dealer was able to order another one - although apparently the dealer had some other personal issues that got in the way. I ended up getting a 43mm rake fork from Nashbar to replace the 37.5mm rake KHS fork. I did like the extra maneuverability on the road, but in made the bike a real PITA on the velodrome (didn't track for sh*t). I think if you stay within 5mm for a road bike (and don't ride on the track) you will be OK (if there are no clearance issues). That is odd that Fuji won't sell you a fork, but that is the answer people have been getting on the Fuji Track Pro when they have been buying the $200 forkless frames.
