I am in the same boat, especially since my Trek Soho DLX was stolen last week. I've been spending WAY too much time on Craigslist and the C&V forum trying to get something on the cheap. But, since...

Doohickie, did you check out the fork? BTW, I tried to PM you but I'm not a senior enough member of the forum to do so (just 38 more posts to go!).

EdgewaterDude, I went to Roberts Cycle Shop. They've been selling Raleighs long enough to remember when my 1973 Sports first came out. I hope to check out Oscar Wastyn's shop at your say-so.

Gambler, I'm holding out for the root beer colored fork. But thanks so much for your email. Sixty Fiver's post has given me hope that I may yet find one that matches.
