Bike Creatively
Old School Hero
A really rare set of forks that I was amazed to find on a resprayed retro GT bike I bought. The whole bike had been painted red (badly) by a previous owner but as the paint was flaking off, and I could see patches of the iconic “blue widow” GT paint scheme underneath, I decided to use a stiff brush to remove some of this newer paint. To my surprise these forks turned out to be Tange Prestige forks from a 1990 Team Avalanche! As these forks are incredibly rare but will obviously need repainting, or at least the red carefully stripped off, I am asking £35 plus £8 postage, which I think is fair considering it’d be nigh on impossible to find another set of these. The dropouts are stamped Tange and the threaded steerer, which measures 13.5cm, is stamped Tange 90C. It is likely that they were painted due to wear, scuffs and rust spots commensurate with their age so there’s no way of me telling what the condition of the forks is like under the red without stripping the paint off, so please be aware that they’re not perfect and will need at least repainting but possibly repair. That being said they feel solid and undamaged still so hopefully ok. Also on eBay so could sell anytime: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15540532...8Bp2zIKRWa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Collection possible from Sheffield S17 (near Totley Library) or Chesterfield S41 if arranged in advance. Thanks for your interest and should you have any questions please fire away! |
