I can't start my next project for lack of a fork. What I'm looking for is a threadless road style fork, but for a 20" wheel, with a 1" steerer tube.
This one would be perfect if it was 20":
Nashbar Carbon Threaded Road Fork : Deals & Discounts on Road Bike Forks From Nashbar
I found the Answer Scythe Carbon (Amazon.com: Answer Scythe Mini 20" Carbon Fork - 1", Threadless: Sports & Outdoors) which isn't what I'm going for style-wise, but would work as far as getting this thing put together. It's $200, which would suck, but I can deal with it if I have to. The bigger problem is they specify a 100-135lb weight limit
I'm not too concerned what it's made of, Cr Mo, aluminum, whatever, but I want something with some rake. I guess if worse comes to worst I can go with a straight BMX style fork, but it would look pretty stupid.
Any suggestions on where I might find what I'm looking for? Tried the usual avenues, ebay, google, etc. Just wondering if anyone had any other suggestions, maybe some phone calls I could make the old fashioned way. Thanks for any help!
