I should have said, that _raleigh pro forks_ show up once every 6 months, in some form, damaged or the wrong length, for $75-$120. If you see one, pounce on it.

I don't think anyone is making a nice integral sloping-crown chrome after-market fork right now. Tange had been making them, and nova cycles (frame builder supply house) blew out a supply for $30/ea a year or two ago. If you need the dimensions of my Mark IV, email me and I'll measure it (rake, brake-bridge reach).

Did your office mate ruin the fork? Perhaps it can be rebuilt or straightened ?
