Steel fork for De Bernardi thron track bike suggestions?

[rallizes]

My friend needs to replace the fork on his De Bernardi thron track bike. He'd like steel. I don't know what to suggest. Any ideas?

Not sure what the rake of the original fork was. And he doesn't want to spend a ton of dough.

Soma Fabrications makes pretty forks.

Is it a true track bike that would have used round track blade or is it a road single/fixed?

This is a nice deal, especially with the custom paint offer. Probably a bit less from A to C than the DeBernardi fork:

Haha, tried to edit, but you already saw the SOMA. :)

Thanks for these ideas.

Guy said he'd installed some random cheapish fork and it was handling "like a bus".

Trying to get that old DB magic back post-damaged fork.
