^ this didnt work out well for joe. weird headset spacers, filing forks and cutting of safety tabs was involved.

Joe's forks had a built-in crownrace, which Pomp forks don't.

No safety tabs on v-brakes/cantis either...

Forgot to get back to you over the weekend. I can probably drop them off at polo tomorrow if it happening... or I'm in town if you're local.

Rob I'll have some polo forks available for sale soon, so just get a cheap steel frame like a plug or if you wanna spend a bit more get a Dolan pre cursa for 99 quid

He's already got the new bike, but it has a long headtube.

actually they aren't that long I only need the 22/3 Cm for the whole thing not just for the headtube. I live in whitworth park so anywhere in central Manchester wouldn't be a problem to pick up

Took the fork off the bike today and measured it properly, turns out the steerer is 215mm.

If you still want it I can bring it to work (Oxford Rd) or probably polo one evening.

Normal headsets are about 32mm tall, some low alloy headset go down to 28mm, budget steel headsets can go down to 23mm but I can't recommend one yet.
