I was just thinking about this build I'm doing. Old bikes are one of the few things I enjoy and is still affordable to restore. Lots of old bikes and parts out there. Some cars are just unreal. I look at International Scouts from time to time and can't believe how much people want for them today.

I figured out how to look for forks on ebay. I think I found something that will fit the frame I got coming.

says its for a 9" steering tube.

A vintage steel race bike with is sort of like an old Cadillac and the new graphite bikes are like a new BMW M3. Very different rides but both will get you there.

After the frame arrives I'm going to visit a friend in San Diego who says I can have whatever spare parts he has free. I have another friend in Thousand Oaks who has been riding forever and may have some extra goodies. I'l have to ask him if I get over that far.
