Mike, I found you a set of front 531DB forks for this Quinn and I think I quoted you $12.00 Australian plus postage, when I never heard from you for several months I put them on ebay and got £25.00 for them. Thanks you did me a favour in getting a good price for them. Sorry have sold all my spare forks. Your best bet is ebay my builder is now charging £85.00 for a set unpainted. Best wishes and good luck Mick.
