Like Jaymz said - £150+ depending on condition I reckon - deffo get a pic of where the seatstays meet the seattube though, as they have a tendency to crack round that point :)

even if the forks dont clean up a strip and rechrome is £30

1in pitchforks with twin dropouts dont come up often so dont let the chrome put u off

where can you get forks stripped and chromed for £30???

I was thinking the same, strip and rechrome for 30 quid sounds very reasonable 8)

key plating, they are a local firm who have been around for years, no website u just pop in and the old boy who owns it gives u a price and a time frame, never had a bad chrome job from them

have had a set of profiles and a pair of forks dipped and re-chromed for £30 each  :daumenhoch:

Just come back for another look at this, are those Challenger forks?

Legs look a bit skinny for pitchforks?

Ignore me.... just been and had a look, they're pitchforks  :daumenhoch:

dont forget import tax too, you may be lucky and get away with it, you could ask him to mark it as a gift but it will only be covered upto $50 i think
