I have two star fangled nuts, each for $65.43. I believe they're Chris King. Very light surface rust. Price is non-negotiable.

If (and only if) you buy one of the star-fangled nuts, I'll throw in a Chris King base plate. They are 1.125". Right now each one is attached to a Kelly rigid fork (http://www.webcyclery.com/product.php?productid=16929&cat=319&page=1), and I don't feel like taking them off, so you can keep the fork also. One has v-brake/canti mounts (only) and the other has disc mounts (only).

The latter fork has international fame after starring in a pictorial in Dirt Rag #105 (page 12). Unfortunately you can't see the star fangled nut. If you squint really, really, really hard, you may be able to see the base plate.

The steerer tube lengths of each fork are relatively short so you'll need a short headtube to run them. I'll post an exact measurement later if you're interested.

More details of both forks:
- 1.125" (1 1/8") steerer tube diameter.
- 426mm axle to crown height
- 38mm rake
- Originally black, but later powder coated metallic charcoal with a clear coat
- Original stickers gone, but I have my own I can slap on if you want
- Some scratches on the paint for both, but none to bare metal
- I can put a Nokian Gazzi JR 2.6" in there and still get clearance

Let me know if you want pics. Contiguous 48 states only. Add 10 clams if I have to ship it out to you.

The internationally famous one has been derbied. The other one, not. Both strong like bull.

Umm.....

How long is the steerer on the canti-version? You can never have too much bike stuff, right?

I do believe that it is the same exact length as the Fox. 'Twas for easy swappage! :D

Thanks Drevil.

I wonder if it would fit on my bontrager? Let me ponder my options. I am hoping someone else snaps it up. You must be quite bored of my whiney badgering.

I guess I really need to sell a bike first.

58cm langster with a not so good rear wheel, anyone?

I can not sell you any more stuff. Even though I haven't met your wife, I have a feeling she hates me.

Absolutely perfectly :p

Sure, I will email them to you if you like. It does need a wipe down and I was going to put the original saddle and seatpin back on.....

But for now I'll just take a few pics.

The disc fork is off the market. The v-brake model is still available.

YAY!

I think you owe me a comission since you hijacked my thread to sell your stuff! :mad:

Oh yeah, the two forks are gone. One to Markie, who now owes me more because he stole my thread. :p

Umm, I guess I can pay you now, Drevil. Monday OK?

The Lord giveth and the Drevil taketh away.
