Wanted 1" 'nice' fork - how big an ask is this?!

[TreaderSteve]

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 would have originally been fitted? Any links to anything I've missed/ something you're selling?

But, it needs to have 21cm (or more) or steerer! Pah! "Easy" I hear you say again...
20.5cm might just do it but I'd need to mock everything up. Not suspension corrected.

I just found out my local 'man' has 'got rid of all his MTB forks' - gaaah - what might he have thrown?!

Cheers

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

I might have a pair that fit the bill in my shed will look tomorrow.

Sorry just checked, it is way too short.

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

This is lovely, but you'll need to get the steerer threaded - easy enough I guess.

And if you changed your mind about spending big bucks then this is a beauty...

I have to measure the steerer, but maybe I have a "nice enough" Ritchey fork. Let me rummage through my stuff tomorrow ...

Or from here for less, but you’d still have to get it threaded:

So close - just 19cm

As an idea: Maybe a Project Two is also an alternative? Catalogue pic from 1989:

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 re-steerered
