WTB 1" threaded steel fork 700c and a long-ish steerer
Hi All-
I'm trying to finish out a project and I'm in need of a 1" threaded fork with a longer steerer.
The head tube on the frame is 7" or about 178mm, so the steerer would need to be somewhere in the 210-225mm range (I think) to account for the stack height of a typical headset.
Threading type won't matter too much since I'll be getting new headset as well.
Have anything decent laying around without a frame to match?
Chrome, black, or another subtle color would be ideal, but the paint on the frame is a little wild so the fork can be too.
Would like to avoid a unicrown if can.
Shipping would be to 96813.
Cash or trades are OK...I have nice vintage components that are sitting.
Thanks all!

I may have what you're looking for- have both a True Temper fork and a Peugeot Carbolite fork with super long steerers. Both white. Not sure of the threading on the Peugeot one but will get you that and some pictures and measurements tomorrow.

I have a blue fork off a Trek. Frame was 23” I can measure the steer tube if interested.

Follow-up to this- upon further examination what I have probably isn't ideal. Attaching photos. The Peugeot fork is probably 27" rather than 700c but maybe close enough. 225mm steerer. French threading and 96mm spacing. The True Temper unfortunately may be bent laterally- hub spacing measures at 105mm and a wheel sits very slightly crooked in it. Longer steerer ~245mm. If you want to give them a shot, 15 + ship for the pair. No rush if you want to wait and see if someone else has something better.
I'd be interested in seeing it. Thanks!
Yes, please do. The frame has mounting tabs for racks, so a touring fork may work well.

I've got two that are available. All of the measurements, including weight, are in the imgur album at the bottom of this post.
First, I have a carbon Nashbar.

Second is a polished CrMo steel fork.
