tandem fork info.
Hello,
I have a question, I have a 1990 Burley Bossa Nova tandem that I was preparing for the upcoming season and noticed that one of the canti-lever brake bosses is bent in, (possibly from tipping over?) Any way the question. Does anyone know of a good place that may repair the fork? I went to my bike shop and also contacted Burley, of course since it is older thay don't make a 1" threaded steerer in 27" anymore. They have threadless 1 1/8", has anyone tried that? Any sugggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Greg

Your Burley's 1" head tube won't allow you to use a fork with anything larger than a 1" steerer tube.
The link provided by Phil looks interesting but I have no personal knowledge of who it might be. You might want to call and talk with Michel (Mee-shell) at Free Flite bicycles to either get his opinion on WildThings or perhaps another recommendation.
I have referred several folks to Koolbikes (formerly Pfieffer Frames) in Clemson, SC, as they (that would be Mary) always do a nice job. Kookbikes is also a paint shop so they do turn-key work... and really nice folks.

When you finish with Wildframe would you give us a reply to let us know how they did?
