I'm looking for a fork now. There are lots of forks on ebay but I havn't found one that is a perfect fit yet.

I'm tempted to buy one with a long enough steering tube but its for a 700c rim. I have a mill and it would be easy to machine away the 1/8" of material at the bottom of the crown to allow a 27" wheel to clear.

I washed my Cannondale last night. I don't remember the last time I cleaned it. The caked on grime on the hubs needed extra attention to get off. A tooth brush and simple green was the trick. I took apart the headset and repacked the grease. The bearings and races looked perfect. The Cannondale came with Shimano 105. The old grease was chunky but still lubricated. This was the first time I had the headset apart. Shimano makes good stuff.
