Without going into the story too much, I'm in need of a fork for an older Atlantis (60cm).
The headtube length is 7.25" ...

Rivendell has some new Appaloosa forks, but they are slightly differently lugged. May go that route, but thought I'd ask here first!

Hey Jake, I just sent you a direct email. For what it’s worth, I think the Appaloosa crown might clear a bigger taller than the original Atlantis crown…

Regards, Doug

Hi Doug,
Thanks for your reply!
And yes, you’re correct - the Appaloosa is the best second option, and Will/Riv had an extra. It’s slightly shorter but should work - I bought one a couple weeks ago and sent to Rick Stefani to paint to match …

Hey Jake, please share some pics when the frame and fork are united 🙂

I shall! Just got the fork after being painted to match, and while it isn’t an exact match color wise, it’s close enough. Hoping to start on the (re)build next week …
