Thanks but I'm really looking to use 1 1/8" forks, you see I already have a 3.0 frame that is very similar to this...however some of the early 2.8 frames had 1 1/4" headtubes which work with a shim so I wanted to swap the frame out to run modern forks.Sorry should have made that clear. I think I'll pass for now but it is a lovely looking bike!
