WTB: beat up junker 3rensho - need offset fork
Really just looking for a 3rensho offset fork for a replacement on a bike I have. Throw this out there on the odd chance someone has a beat up trashed frame with a good fork

length of steerer needed? i saw a 3rensho (allez but had the offset fork) with a dented down-tube at a thrift store- they wanted some $$ for it and it may still be there. but it was also like 51cm or something.

ohhhhh really? do you recall the price? I don't care about steerer length as I'll have a new one put on (or if the fork is in particularly good condition have the existing one extended). Thanks!

i think they wanted $150. ill go around and check tomorrow if they are open. its like a junk-thrift store and the hours are a bit sporadic. hopefully its still there! they had no idea what they had but knew they could charge $150 for a bike that worked in this area. and it was way too small and had the dent... so I passed. let me know as i'd probably just donate on the rest of the bike to a co-op and pass the cost of the fork on to you! though if its still there I could probably offer 100$

tendency, I don't know where you are, but Dale Saso in San Jose advertises that he does steerer tube extensions.

Hit up Seth at Golden Velo in Colorado. I had a spare offset 3Rensho fork and he bought it from me as part of a much larger haul of parts.
