These turned up in the post for me today, hurrah for Parcelforce and HDN doing their job in the Christmas rush!

[i]Just[/i] need to locate a front wheel as well now, a disc hub would be nice to complete the set, though they're quite a bit rarer... and yes, I know the fork won't take discs, they're for different bikes 😉

psychle - Do you need a steerer for those forks? I think I have a pace one you can have for free. Can't check till net week though.

I remember having a set of those forks when I bought my first Heckler!
I think I sold them to a mate for the barginous price of £50 quid!

A steerer would be most useful and most gratefully accepted steelfan, thanks for the offer! 🙂

If I get 10 mins to myself over the weekend I'll have a look in the cellar.

inspect the wheel around the rivets holding the spokes to the rims,, a known place for problems

Doesn't free to Psychle mean 100 billion $'s 😉

Looking good but fear your missing a tranny from your collection. 😛

All looks sound to me, the wheel's in remarkably good condition actually, really happy with it for the price I paid 🙂

Cheers mate, no rush, I'm away till the 12th of January now anyhoo 🙂

One day perhaps... though, pretty happy with my current hardtail SS to be honest, not carbon, but rather nice nonetheless 8)

Had those forks back in the day still my favourite ever forks even after i completely trashed them hitting a tree stump. Bent steerer twisted crown broken brace and leg. Minor concussion and a bruise the shape of a big ass old school philips mobile phone. £150 to get them repaired.
Right on to ebay i go looking for pace forks and big ass philips phones.

big ass philips phones.

Yeah baby, yeah! Love those old handsets, they were ****in stoopid big weren't they! 😆 My mate had one that was connected to a battery bag you had to carry around with it, something very similar to this in fact:

Spinergy's were always a good road racing wheel too until the authorities banned them on safety reasons. You still see them at TT's though.
