Hi,
I crunched the fork in my Fuji, a 27inch bike. [img]schwinnbike.comfrown.gifOpen ↗[/img]
Now I need a replacement fork.
The diameter of the steer tube is 22.2mm;
the length of the steer tube is 298mm. (No typo here!)
If the one you have is VALite (Ishiwata), a Reynolds, or a Raleigh, (lightweight alloy), I'll pay extra; of course, I'll pay shipping.
A black color is a blessing!
Please, send an image of your fork.
Thanks, in advance. Jim near Baltimore

Been there; done that. On Saturday I looked at over 300 forks - some threaded, some non-threaded. The longest steerer was 260mm - two of them. I need something between 295mm and 298mm. Most folks have no concept of that length in a steer tube. Check the image below.

You do have a dilemma ...
I think the easiest, but not necessarily the most satisfactory, is to EITHER weld an extension from another fork onto the fork you end up with (with-or-without an internal sleeve at the joint) OR find a frame builder and have him/her install your old steerer on another fork -- ALIGNMENT is critical, but easy enough to do.
