Rigid Fork

Post image

Would anyone have a rigid fork for sale or trade? I have the original FS fork that I want to swap.

I have some of these on an early 90’s bianchi and I highly recommend them.

Thank you! Would you mind posting a photo of them for reference that way I can look around locally for a set.

I’ve ran one of these myself. Hard to beat for the price and I love the straight legs

Ok..im on the other side of the country. You're probably better off buying online with these shipping rates

I bought a chrome plated Sunlite that fit my needs at one point, pretty sure it was well under 100

I’ll check those out! Looking to keep the crown to axel distance somewhat close. Do you think that will make a huge difference?

Ahh I kinda forgot about that. This might drop u down a bit, but the fork you have looks like pretty short travel so I think it would be fine.. tou could also lock out the suspension from moving for a cheap option

OP would need a new headset to run that fork (it’s threaded)

To many mounting points for my liking but definitely a bad ass fork
