I'm left wondering where you are going for these quotes. £600+ for a pair of forks ? Really? And £2750 for a 853 frame?Forks arrived today: absolute mint nos as described. Bargain. I was quoted £636 for a pair of unfinished new forks in 753. This steel frame building malarkey is getting out of the reach of ordinary working folk.... £2750 quoted for a hand built 853.
When I was a lad etc etc, moan, moan, moan
