Need some ST help and your old fork if you have one.
I am fixing my old bike. The fork is shot/bent/broken from a wreck yeeears ago. I am not a mechanic by any stretch. I took the fork off and measured the following:
1" threaded fork
This is an older steel bike, the style of stem is the "quil" type that inserts into the headtube and tightens with an allen screw. Old fork measured ~7.75 inches of steerer tube if that matters , threaded portion is 1 inch, diameter of tube is one inch. I dont know if I need the same type (old fashioned) fork/headset or if newer styles work also.
Dont want to spend alot, but if you have an old fork and/or headset, let me know.. Thx Bob
