Looking for a steerer tube, 1"
something hacksawed off a pair of ruined forks would be fine

I might have something. Let me see what's in "not quite scrap"pile

I have them as loose framebuilding parts, £15 posted, various lengths.

All the best,

I guess id be looking for something with 15-20cm un-threaded

Sorry to be nosey, but why do you want a bit of steerer tube? Tell me to mind my own business if you want...

Mind your own business...

I don't mind...
I had a notion to turn a threaded fork to threadless via this method and the sourcing a bit of bit of 7/8" tube

Here you go...I have loose 1" steerers as follows:



320mm unthreaded
270mm threaded, with 215 below thread
180mm threaded with 125 below thread

Yes, you can extend a steerer, too. I prefer to braze mine, rather than TIG welding like Paul Brodie, but the process and result is pretty similar.



This is the easier approach if you have a fork with a brazed-in steerer. Also for press-fit or clamped steerers that have a bulge for the headset crown race seat.
It's only really the more exotic modular/composite forks, (Pace, Bontrager, Tange etc) which have a straight OD steerer and a separate crown race.

All the best,
