Nice old school fork for Vector bars?

(1/4) > >>

Jonny:
Due to the Vector bars not fitting a standard 1" fork. Can anyone advise on a nice old school fork?

Cheers!

MartyC:
Thats not true, Vector bars fit plenty of forks, what forks don't they fit?

Jonny:

The integrated stem on the 82 mini vector bars I've got won't fit inside the forks.  Tried a few different pairs.

I was asking the question so I can grab some forks that I know will fit.  Tange?

MartyC:
If I can just say you have given very limited information regarding your problem i.e. what forks you currently have, what frame it is (to understand what length the headtube is and what forks may fit), even so far as what the type of Vector bars are and any measurements you might have taken aside from merely deducing that "Vector bars don't fit".

Have you used a vernier caliper to measure the outside diameter of the integrated stem quill? 
Have you done the same to measure the inside diameter of the forks?
It the stem quill diameter too large or too small?
Is the stem quill too long or too short?
Does the frame use a standard 1 inch BMX headset or does it use a smaller Road type Headset?
Does the frame & forks run 1 1/8 or 1 3/8 wheels?
Are the current forks a set of mini forks?
If they are mini forks do you want to replace them with mini forks that fit or with a regular set of forks for a full sizes 1.75" wheel?
Do you want to replace them with a set of mini forks that the Vector combo will fit?

Jonny:
Fair one Marty.   I'll consider myself schooled! 

Frame, first gen VDC Chimp with first gen mini free agent forks.  Road bike headset. Doing this with a second option to change bars and forks to the mini vector bars and different forks.  Wanted to grab some before sending it to Dan for coating.

Mini vector bars  - 22mm stem diameter
free agent fork internal - 21mm (these using for first set up with VDC mini bars and mini stem.

so looking for forks just to use with vector bars if possible.
