The problem with cheap forks, tends to be the ride. The old, lighter version of the spinner fork used by many, had good quatity tange, were butted and weighed in at around 870g (750g advertised was obviously for a 13" version!).
I did buy a "reasonable" pair some years back, but they were just that.....i sold them. Poor ride quality, heavy 1.1kg, dead feel to them.
If your after forks for a beater or tourer or just to get a bike back on the road, many of the above options will do.....but frankly, i don't want to compromise a good frame and set up with a gas pipe fork.....which im sure many of you can appreciate.
So it looks like custom may be the way.
Is it possible that if an equivalent fork existed now it would be advertised as not for off-road use and there's a tendency to overbuild to avoid potential legal action?
