New forks
Hi,
I have managed to twist my folks out of alignment (no idea how), messing up the cantilevers and the general wheel alignment, on my 1993 Dawes Galaxy.
I can still ride it, but it makes for adjusting the brakes and everything much more difficult, and I’m not convinced of the safety.
Anyway, I was looking to get new forks, but the problem is finding 1” threaded forks with canti bosses and a nice 40-45mm rake for 700c wheels.
Does anyone have any recommendations for this? I would also like them to be lugged, and look nice (like surly LHT forks).
Any advice would be great!
Thanks

Bikes: Too many. Giant Trance X 29, Surly Midnight Special get the most time.
Google found this: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/700c-1-in...s¤cy=usd . No mention of rake, not lugged.

M Steel in Newcastle might build something..
UK still has a few frame building bike companies.
they whipped out a small front rack for me in a couple days .. in 91.
Mid tour, before I took a Ferry to Norway.
