About this product
The ALTA 700C Black Steel Bicycle Fork is a rigid, 1-inch threaded fork designed for road bikes. It features caliper brake mounts and a 250mm steerer length with 150mm threaded section. Made from durable steel, this fork weighs 2.20lb and is compatible with various vintage road bikes from the 1970s-1990s, as well as touring, commuter, and custom builds. It's an ideal replacement part for maintaining classic bicycle aesthetics and function.
Our take
If you're restoring a vintage road bike, this ALTA 700C steel fork is a strong candidate. The 1-inch threaded steerer is spot-on for older frames, and the steel construction provides that classic ride quality. The caliper brake mount is exactly what you'd expect for the period-correct aesthetic and function. It's great to see a rigid fork option that caters specifically to compatible bike types like older Peugeots, Schwinn, and Raleigh models. At 2.20lb, it's a reasonable weight for a steel fork and should offer good durability for many more miles.
