Here are the forks that are coming:

9/8" dia, 400mm long, threadless steerer, 1.3mm walls (not threadable)

A: offset: 58mm, brake->axle 366mm, pivot 268mm (584/590) P/R
B: offset: 68mm, brake->axle 366mm. pivot 268mm (584/590 P/R
C: offset: 55mm, brake->axle 366mm, pivot 256mm (559) 26" P/R
D: offset: 65mm, brake->axle 366mm, pivot 256mm (559) 26" P/R
E: offset: 70mm, brake->axle 384mm, pivot 287mm (622) 700C P/R, G, D, F
F: offset: 61mm, brake->axle 384mm, pivot 287mm (622) 700C P/R, G, D, F

8/8" dia, 400mm long, threadless steerer, 1.6mm walls (threadable)

G: offset: 58mm, brake->axle 366mm, pivot 287mm (622) P
H: offset: 68mm, brake->axle 366mm, pivot 268mm (584/590) Konversion

We measure fork blade length from the brake hole in the front of crown
to the point in the dropout slot where the center of the axle will be.

The pivot measurement is the distance from the the brake hole in the
front of crown to the center of the front of the canti post, and I've labeled
those with rim sizes for ease and included a the Kogswell model for which
the fork can be used (we hope that every Kogswell frame owner will take
advantage of this opportunity to re-fork their frames.)

I'm working on a large fork order at the moment which we hope to
take delivery of in November. Besides more of the forks shown above, it
will also contain a 8/8" version of the Fork E above. That fork will
specifically
be designed to add offset to 700C x 1" frames.

All of these forks will be $80 plus $20 for shipping.

Please note that the 8/8" forks can be cut and threaded to your spec
for an additional $40.

> If they are available then where can I buy one?

Direct from us - 952-445-8804. We will delay taking fork orders until
August 15 so that we can process dealer frame orders.
