Thanks both for the above. It looks like whipping-out the steerer and boshing in another on MTB forks is not such an easy option. F7s are sweeeeeet-as though. They won't look too bad I suppose - the bro knows their worth - time to barter!

I see Mercian appear to be able to do it for £95. What's the general consensus on fork construction? All the undersides of forks I can remember seeing look a bit knobbly as if the steerer is TIG'd in, rather than smooth as if they are brazed in and are then un-brazeable and the steerer can be...

It's just my luck that I do need a frame bigger than the ubiquitous 18" meaning finding a fork is a little harder. Thank you kindly for checking Dr Dremel :) I wanted to see what peeps might have before I go down one of two routes - I might have to ask what the opinion is about getting a fork...

Not to worry dude - c'est la vie. Thanks for checking though! If anyone else has anything seksy do share

One time bump if anyone has something secreted away or has seen something ;decent' for sale that I don't need to sell a kidney to afford! Thanks

Show us a pic of the end caps - look sorta MKS from here. Pop the cap off, inject some grease everywhere, pop the cap back on. What's the worst that could happen? Most things made by man/woman/child can be un-made and re-built - it's just whether you feel comfortable taking a pedal...

Here goes...looking for a 'nice' pair of 1" (26" wheel) threaded forks please befitting for a '90/ '91 Merlin - "easy" I hear you say! Nothing crazy (and way too spendy for me) like Accutrax - something 'nice' - something butted and Spinner? Or even heaven-forbid a pair of Ritchey Logic that...

Cheers Dr Dremel, very useful! I'll see if Gil can make use of it. Further, if someone could measure height and width of the wee sucker and let me know it could be quite useful! Thanks

Noice - :p Looks good

I can't seem to find an image anywhere and there was next to nothing left at the base of the seat tube on my Merlin. Trying to locate to get sent off to Gil for his files/ get him to add it to the decal kit I need. Any help/ links appreciated! Thanks

Likewise - RM and E-Stay - what's not to like?!

GTPulse's forks are all lovely which'll look grand on that frame - I like it a lot. If you wanted something steel though do ask as I seem to have accumulated some pretty decent steel ones which I suppose I'll never get round to finding a home for.

Lovely, lovely bike. Minty too - unbelievable

I'm tempted to ask them how many metres of fencing I'd get and what brand of tape measure it is that I'd be getting too to know how high to bid arf arf

I don't think any Retrobiker would not think a 970 (or above) is a cool old ride. I'd happily have one. Nice steed

Yes Max, those exact ones with the red cap - Air-B - I hope to soon have a complete pair either to enjoy or loathe I ever bought (one of) and fitted

Only going to be fitted on the new Merlin garage-queen - a mild thrash down a towpath maybe to the pub on a Sunday (lean her up on a wall and admire her curves whilst supping an ale and eating a pack of Pipers beef crisps), then back in the shed - next time it/ she gets an airing I expect to...

Hello, my other has a pair of snake bites so how much would you want for one posted please if you're prepared to let one go? Thanks!

It doesn't hurt to ask! I have one but the other would be nice if anyone has one please (in UK). I could get a new green Michelin one but the valve is 40mm whereas the Air-B is 30mm. It's all about the detail :)

Ah, cool thanks! Today's been a school day
