1" Threaded Carbon Forks, any in the UK?
Discussion
Hi all,
I'm in the process of dusting of my old ride, I had it built up back in '96 so it's got a threaded headset. I'd like to put a carbon fork on it as the old shoulders are on the knackered side but finding such an item is proving tricky. I asked in my LBS yesterday and they found one for about £150 (ouch) which would be about the same price as doing a full swap to an threadless headset but I'd like to keep things as they are. I have found this fork over in the US with probably no chance of international shipping which would probably make it uneconomical anyway:

Anyone know if there is a less than stupidly priced UK option?
Here's the old girl
I'm thinking that saddle is going to seriously kill me!
Also need to ditch the triple for a double, will I have problems if I get a 9/10 speed chainset and run an 8 speed chain on it? I'm definitely not wanting to swap out the whole groupset!
Cheers,
Rob
