OK, so I'm cruising eBay for a headlight and I run across this triple tree suspension fork by Puch for a moped.
Here's some of the specs:
head tube is 180mm (~7") with 55mm (~2.1") of threading
thread OD is 26mm x 1mm (~1")
They're 27" long overall, so it looks like a 24 or 26" wheel would fit with a fat tire
There's also cool headlight brackets on it already
Now, at ~$135.00 shipped, they're not cheap (they're also new, a used one would be WAY less), but with the cheap Monark repops are going for ~$120, they're not a bad option, if they'd work.
Has anyone out there ever tried a moped fork? I can't tell from the pic how the bars/stem would mount, but where there's a will.....
I know from cruising TretHarley.de that our european colleagues run a lot a motorcycle/moped parts on their bikes.
any thoughts???
