I have a 1990 19" Wicked in need of a fork. I realize Waltworks could make something perfect for me, but I really just want to get something on there relatively cheaply. I can't afford the $250 for a custom job right now.
I'm planning on making this bike into my commuter bike - skinny tires, mostly pavement. This thread has some clues as to fork specs: http://www.fatcogs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=727 I couldn't find any definitive fork specs, though. My best guess is I'm looking for something like: 395-405mm axle to crown length 45mm rake I'm leaning towards the 395mm end of the spectrum. The 1 inch steerer is causing me fits. I'm going to be mostly riding this thing on pavement so I think a cyclocross fork might work. There are plenty of cyclocross forks with 1 inch steerers and canti brake bosses. Here's a couple of forks I'm thinking about: Surly Cross-Check (cyclocross fork) $94 400mm axle to crown 44mm rake Tange Mountain $45 391 mm 45 mm I'm also keeping tabs on ebay for something that might come up. Anyone have any other suggestions/feedback? Thanks, James |

the tange should work fine. wicked forks pop by.. i have one extra but it's from an 18in bike so steerer will be too short otherwise..
get the tange and ride it. first flight cycles also , see if they have a ritchey logic.
