Where to find a steel straight-blade 1" threaded road fork
Maybe someone can help me on this one: trying to locate a steel
straight-blade 1" threaded road fork. Just really like the look....what can I say. I'd imagine there isn't a performance gain in a straight-blade, I'm thinking it may even be a detriment? Care to explain? thanks craig |

Only with the C50 did they switch to 1 1/8", and that's a carbon fork. Their steel bikes like the Master X-Light have steel forks, they're straight bladed, and 1". |

Their steel bikes like the Master X-Light have steel forks, they're straight bladed, and 1". It's called Precisa. Newer models are threadless but older ones (like mine :-) ) are threaded. If you can find one new, it should be somewhat expensive like everything colnago. On ebay I saw some and if you search for online stores in Germany you should also find what you are looking for (look for 'Gabel'). Francesco |

Craig, how about a new take-off from a Colnago C-40 (Colnago, the father of straight forks?), Mapei team blue paint scheme. C-40 extra fancy sloping crown. Full chrome underneath. New Dura Ace headset can be included. How long a steerer length do you need? Email me private please. |
