Track Fork
Other than Wound Up who is making a good 1.125" CF track fork these days.
35-38mm ~367mm A-C I can make a fork but I'd rather just plug and play with this one. Yes, I know steel forks exist. If I end up going that route I'll just make one myself.

looks like Alpina makes one and Columbus makes a 1.5" pista fork.

I know nothing about the Alpina forks. Are they . . . ok? I prefer to not put something on a bike that is "iffy"

Maybe ask Dolan who makes them if they will tell you, but Wound-Up are very hard to beat for top quality. |

Columbus. Have one drilled for a front brake on my Interclub. Even has an alloy steerer.

LOOK has some nice looking full carbon track forks that come with their track bikes, maybe look into one of them? Quote:

For a long time they were the go-to fork for small builders building sprint geometry; I think Bianchi bought and re-badged some shorter-raked ones for Pista Concept (at least some years), and for a while British Cycling was giving pipeline riders Dolan DF3s with Alpina forks instead of the stock fork. |

LOW was also using the Alpina forks with their track bikes when they used to have a straight HT.

I have an All City Thunderdome fork. It fits the bill and is reasonably priced as well. Just another option to consider, though the A-C distance is a bit bigger from looking at the specs now.
I swap between it and the stock fork on my Raleigh Macaframa - the stock fork doesn't accept a brake, so the rare occasions I actually head to the track I use the stock fork and track drops, the rest of the time the AC fork with road drops and a front brake.. |
