Free Forks
 
CLAIMED AND SHIPPED
You pay shipping only and I will ship padded in polybag to keep cost low. I did a quick estimate on PirateShip and I think these should ship for less than $15.

Not that I need any forks, but I sort of have a frame to go with that chrome fork:D

I've got a Dawes Galaxy frame in about 58-59cm from the early 70s most likely and the front fork probably never got the dropouts brazed. One of them is just sort of hanging in there. This fork, plus that frame, might make for an interesting combination. The original fork would come w/ the bike of course, if someone wished to re-braze and then re-chrome. Chrome is good on the back socks. I had a newer tange fork that I thought could work, but it is a sloping crown and would look out of place. Also on the house.

If that make this fork more appealing to someone, I'm happy to help! And good on you:thumb:

What a great offer too! One issue is the chrome fork is for a 24" wheel, which really is not an issue for someone who likes Terry-style bikes. I have had this chrome fork for a long while, I never used it and it looks like it could be NOS.

Oh snap, I somehow TOTALLY glossed over that detail! Well, if it doesn’t really work (other than your aforementioned suggestion) then I’m still happy to bump your thread to the top:thumb:
