Wanted: Dia Compe clamp on brake or drilled fork

Hey guys,

so I finally managed to find a track frame that I can ride on the road.

It´s this beautiful RIH:

The fork however is not drilled and I dont want to go brakeless.

So, I am either looking for a dia compe clamp on brake (any experience with these? would you recommend them?)
I think I need one for oval forks.

OR

a cheap drilled track fork that looks similiar...

Please do let me know prices incl. shipping to Vienna!

Thanks,

I rode my track bike to and from the velodrome with a clamp on brake and it worked okay. Not sure I'd want to run one permanently though.

Brick Lane Bikes were doing drilled chrome track forks recently, but I'm not sure how much they were/are.

10euros for frame and fork??

I ride with a Dia-Compe clamp-on brake - it works fine

Thanks for your input.
I guess you mean these forks?

Don´t want to pay that much for a fork only tbh, that why I´m also looking here. Maybe someone has a secondhand one for sale.
Also I´d prefer one that is slightly "bent" like the undrilled one on the RIH, not a straight one.

Thx anyways!

Ha! Unfortunately not. Contacted seller and he cancelled auction.
Got it for a nice price, not that nice though ;)

i run clamp-ons on 2 of my bikes...no probs at all (stock brake is a bit spongy maybe...)

if you've got cash to burn try hubjub.co.uk, they have them for 50 odd, or alex's cycles in Japan (I needed the rare aero one - cost me 70 quid, oops!)

remember to drill is to kill...

I got one if you want it, not sure it has even been used, still in box with instructions.

Thanks M-X

You go PM!

Would prefer the solution with a drilled fork though, so if anyone has a cheap drilled fork to offer, let me know please!

SlimJim unfortunately doesn´t want to ship to Vienna - so, if anyone else is interested contact him.

I´m still looking - would definately prefer a drilled fork!!!

remember you would need a new headset/a space fork race, if you were replacing the forks.

its pricey business.

huh, how do you know that? Why would I need a new headset or a " space fork race"(whatever that is?)?

Bah :/

Link doesn´t seem to work anymore,

here´s a picture of the frame & fork.
Looking for a similiar looking fork, ideally drilled.

Thanks
