Hi All
I need my daily to have a threadless fork, so that I can place a 10mm spacer on the steerer which is required to mount my front bike child seat. It just won't work with quill stems. Original fork is a Marin (dropout stamped "Tange", not Spinner) with the usual 395 a/c and ~45mm offset. I would like to get something reasonably light, the original one is 860g (appreciate the steerer will add a bit of weight). I am open to titanium if considered safe for city riding with a child.
I have been browsing for hours and only identified one option:
Oxford fork (I actually have one already on a bike, very similar to an original Marin, but heavy at ~1.3kg uncut
Surly, Condor, don't have what I'm looking for. I am also open to older forks if I can find one, however it seems old threadless P2 or Marin were for 96' and onwards which appeared to be longer (410? 440?).
Any pointer much appreciated.
