EDIT - no longer required thanks, I found some on eBay with a long steerer which I'll cut down to size. Thanks
Wanted - old racer forks, to fit either 27 inch or 700c wheel. They are old fashioned threaded forks, the type one would use a quill stem with.
The steering tube is about 17.8 cm (including the threaded bit at the end) and the threaded bit at the end is 5.8 cm long, and the top of the steering tube is 2.5 cm diameter.
This is what the forks I want to replace look like:

The old forks are a bit bent. Replacement ones don't need that bracket the old ones have, but it'd be useful to have drop outs for mudguards.
I'm not sure what the going rate would be for what I'm looking for, but just putting this as a wanted post in case anyone has anything similar they'd like to sell.
I live in Cheshire, work in mid Manchester, and can get to Derbyshire and Staffordshire fairly easily too.
Thanks for looking.
