Looking for some carbon 1" forks, would really like a straight Easton EC90, but anything is of interest...

- Threadless, carbon or aluminium steerer
- Minimum 200mm steerer
- 43mm rake
- Weigh under 5kg

Cheers :)
 
a friend sells the original gt edge forks. they're nice but threated. headset included.

 
They look nice, how heavy are they?
Do you know the rake, and how much is your friend asking for them?

Thanks :)
 
not sure about the precise rake. usually these forks shall have 42-45mm or so. he'd be ok to end up with 100€ for forks and headset. i'll text him for weight.
 
Re:

Know what you mean, thanks for the heads-up.
I found a couple of similar new forks online but I thought I'd ask here first. I would actually trust secondhand carbon forks in good condition from a reputable brand and seller.

I hear you, before this my friend was a big fan of this lightweight Mizuno 1" carbon fork on his Ibis:

Yeah, he had an accident, but I've never seen a steel/alu fork do this, and the incident was made far worse when the bike fell in two. I am aware that this is not evidence per se, but I have seen too many carbon forks and frames with cracks/fissures in hidden places that people haven't noticed to risk buying them second hand.
