Looking for a Faggin fork circa 1986
I'm searching high and low for a chrome Faggin road bike fork from around 1986. I've found a couple non-Faggin donor forks that would suffice to get my bike back on the road, but I'd prefer something relatively correct. I'm looking for chrome with a Faggin pantograph in Columbus or similar good quality tubing. The fork does not need to be pretty, but I do want ride-able. I'm not really interested in new old stock. As you can see my bike is a bit rusty and well used (although it will look much better after I clean it up).
So any body got an extra Faggin fork laying around?

Have one on my blue Titan, but not for sale. You missed a window of opportunity some years back when folks were substituting carbon forks for steel to get quick weight reduction, led to quality steel forks on eBay for low $$. They are out there, but price is more than double from those days. Here's 1: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Faggin-ch...gAAOSwTQtaK-SU

Good point on timing. Ten years ago I had several steel forks of various quality, all obtained cheap and passed on for not much more than I paid for them (gave a couple to friends). I've got a new carbon fork that I could use on the Faggin, but that would be a sin of high magnitude.
