Nic, with a 21.1 steerer tube, you're much better off just getting a new used fork with a more standard inside diameter. The bike will be using the "normal" 1" headtube so as long as you find another threaded fork that has the right steerer tube length you should be good to go. If you REALLY wanted to "do it right" you could find out if your headset is ISO or JIS and get a fork/headset that would fit appropriately, but the difference IIRC is only 27.0 vs. 26.8 and either really works just fine (I have one of each and have them running opposite for winter).

If someone tells you to ream your headtube out to solve this problem, don't listen.

Also, I fathom you're probably trying to build on a budget and getting a new (used) fork probably is an expense you hadn't anticipated, but realistically you're going to spend more money trying to source fringe parts for a crappy frame. Your best bet is of course to find a more suitable frameset (perhaps easier said than done). Either way, it's worth considering that even if you found parts, they'll most likely be pretty low end.

I've actually found a pretty good seat post on ebay, but it's gonna be a few bucks. For now I guess I'll use the original Sakae stem that came with the bike even though it's a little pitted and still has some green crap on it. Both parts are for the swamp bike that got pulled out of the Coolie. I've finally gotten it back from being sand blasted and clear coated and it looks pretty sweet with all chrome parts. Unfortunately, I threw away the seat tube because the clamp at the top was completely screwed so now I'm left looking for a new one.

Oh yeah well you don't want one of those garbage 2-piece posts anyways. I forgot you had it blasted and painted... obv forget getting a new frame. For now at least.

Still though, you can find urself a new fork (chrome even) for pretty cheap, then you could find some sweet quill stem.

FREE... If anybody wants a worn out rear studded 700x35 tire let me know. Studs are pretty much shot, but it would be better than riding around with a normal tire (at least the rubber compound is meant for snow and ice).

I want it!
The minimum number of bikes one should own is three.  The correct number is n+1, where n is the number of bikes currently owned.  This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of bikes owned that would result in separation from your partner.

First up is a Motobecane PhantomCross Uno. The bike has been used for 2 seasons only, and as the name suggests, it is a single speed cross bike. It's got a fairly solid cartridge bearing 32 spoke wheelset that have held up very well through the winter. It's a 60 or 58cm, i'm 6'1" and it fits me very well. The rear wheel is flip flop, and comes with a fixed cog and a freewheel. The bike is steel, and white with red decals I was too lazy to heatgun off. I originally paid $400 and am asking $200 being that when I clean it and tune it up just a bit, it's in new condition again.

Second is a no name aluminum 58cm frame fixie. It's got a flip flop and deep v's. You may have seen the bike around town, I'm the d-bag with a key lime green rear wheel and powder blue front. The bike needs a bearing cone replaced or lightly hammered on the rear wheel (no race damage, just the metal outer cap) so you guessed it, loose ball hubs. I'm throwing in a pair of quick attach fenders specifically for fixies. The bike comes with worn kenda 700 x 25c wheels that roll great, and I have a set of 700 x 23's I'll throw in with it. I'm asking $100 for it, was originally $300 or so. If you want to look like a hipster douche, this bike is so for you.

Third, and by far the saddest. My 98 GT Ricochet mountain bike. It's got a 7speed XT/LX drivetrain with trigger shifters (none of that sram twist crap) avid levers, and a front avid mechanical disc break. I replaced the stock (and horrible) rock shox indy fork with a marzzochi EXR oil fork that makes rocky descents a breeze. The rear is a V brake because the frame lacks a disc mount. I've got a pair of ritchey excaVaders on it currently and Kona Jackshit grips. I also have a specialized phenom 143 saddle on the bike puchased last season that has seen less than 400 miles. I'm ignoring the key feature of this bike though, the GT Ricochet frame. This thing is indestructable, that's the main reason it makes me sad to see it go. I know it's not nearly as light as "modern" frames, but for my size, the weight is not an issue. I am asking $300 for this bike. The saddle alone retails for $90+, so you are getting a deal on a real piece of history here. (I can't remember the frame measurements, but I'm 6'1" and it's comfy for me)

Yooooo....I'm looking to build a cross bike.  Would anyone happen to have a frame (56cm preferably) which would accommodate nubby tires and cantilever brakes?

Nashbar has a pretty good frame for 100 if you're willing to spend that much

I have a surly 17t 3/32 track cog that I would be willing to let go for $15. Unfortunately, no extra lock rings.

Not sure on other fender sources. I checked Rivendell's site and all they had were SKS fenders.

There are lots of places to get fenders. Emmy (I) have some SKS ones and while they're nice... I think they're poorly designed. I also have some planet bike ones which I think are awesome.

I recommend checking out biketiresdirect I think they had the best prices last time around?

I'm lookin at some nice stainless steel or aluminum in the 35 mm range. Honjo makes them, but they're spendy and velo-orange also makes them, but they're out for the next couple of months.

Yeah, but this is for a 26" wheels, he needs 700.
