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
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
Got those forks today but been a bit busy today and most of the rest of the afternoon. Can run the forks down to Platt Fields tomorrow if you're putting the bike together there?
I also have a bunch of Magic cold-weather balls that I can drop off with Rob too
I held a ruler up against them yesterday and they were about 22-23cm, I'll measure properly tonight and let you know
^ 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...
thanks guys, where shall I pick the forks up from Andy?
i think i mismeasured from the bottom buffer to the top of the bar holder is 21cm
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.

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

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.
just measure properly and then you know.
chances are i won't be at polo tonight but if you're on Oxford Road tomorrow i can pick it up from you

if Rob is willing to do it tomorrow that would be fine
I text Rob, he's going to be there from "10" until 6 and has some cranks for you. I'll run the forks down at 11ish and drop them off with whoever :)
