I picked up a Nishiki Competition frame today that is missing the fork.

If anybody has a generic, lugged crown, chrome, Tange replacement fork for sale or trade that would be great.

Other Japanese or similar era forks considered as well.

Steerer length needs to be at least 19cm. Longer ok. Must have forged ends and be made for a 700c wheel.

++++++++++++++++++++++ I was very fond of these in the early 1970s (lots of them in Corvallis, OR back then), and they were a tremendous value. Later, I started hearing rumors of frequent down-tube cracks after lots of use. Does anyone have better info?

thanks
