Yeah I do need to shorten the brake cable, couldn't find my pliers. Have ridden it and it's fine. Got a new chain coming as this one is slightly old and mucky.

New fork fitted. £8 bargain. Looks and feels much better. What do you think?

Fractured my collar bone in two places years ago. Took about a month and a half to heal, but then I fractured it again as I rushed into things when I thought it was fully healed!

No its definitely a 700c, just fitted new tyes and tubes. I have just sourced a nice set on alloy track forks for the mere sum of £8 so will be picking them up tomorrow. Should look much better. Hopefully then I will be able to use the brake caliper I have.
The bike so far has only cost me £40 so is a bargain so far. Should look better tomorrow.

Thanks for all your help.

As the title says, what have you got?
Alloy or carbon track forks would be great.
Steerer length ideally around 190mm.
Please let me know what you have.

Ok no worries. Will keep looking for a set of forks. Yeah threadless 1" forks are scarce but there are a few about that im looking at.

I will measure the distance for the brake when I get home.

Yep looks much better! !

The steerer needs to be about 190mm. Please let me know what you have. I would be interested in a threadless fork with a stem. Thanks for looking.

Thats what I thought as I have a 27" wheel in the background and fits alot better. Frame is just a raleigh but I do like it. So a new set if forks would be the option as I wanted to change them anyway.

Just building up my new fixed gear project and there is a big gap from the tyre to the underside of the fork. Any idea why? Do I need a shorter fork with the same steerer length?
Can I get a front brake caliper long enough?
Any help would be great, as I wanted to change the forks to some alloy or carbon track forks.

Thread updated. Sorry for the confusion but im just unsure about the huge gap.

I have just got a new project but I'm sure the forks are for a 27" wheel as there is a gap between the tyre and the underside of the fork of about an inch which I do not like.
Maybe they are correct but just need a shorter fork with the same steerer? Is that right?

I'm looking for a 1" threaded alloy/carbon fork with a steerer length of about 190mm

Or what have you got?

All gone.

Can I have a pic of the black saddle on the right of the underside? I have an old stem so hoping it may fit.
Potential dibs!!!

Ps. Not racist!

I need a 23/24mm seatpost for my project, pics would be great.
Please let me know what you have.

Looking for a deep wheel set for my new project. Black would be best but let me know what you have.
On a slight budget.
Cheers, jack

Yep still here.

Dibs pending.

Thanks for the offer but not for me.

Cheap beater frame wanted. What do you have?
56 or 58cm would be ideal. Need it for a nice winter hack. Cheers.
