Hello and thanks for checking out this listing of a pre-owned Specialized Tarmac Carbon fork for your compatible rim brake road bike! I discovered this fork in the back stock of a high-end bicycle shop as it ceased operating, it will come to you in the good used condition seen in the included photographs.
Made for a special Gerolsteiner edition of the Tarmac in the mid-2000's with very cool matching decals. Compatible with any rim brake road frame that calls for a straight 1-1/8" steerer tube and compatibility with 100mm spaced quick release wheels. The cut full carbon steerer tube measures a generous 300mm in length from the crown race to the end of the steerer. 43mm rake, for 700c wheels.
Axle to crown measurement is 370mm, meaning tire clearance is MAXED out at 27mm rubber.
A WORD ON FITMENT: This is a used fork, so YES the steerer has been cut. If this seems obvious to you, congratulations on being among the minority of cyclists who understand that forks are produced with *very* long steerers which are then cut down. Measure the combined length of your head tube, spacers, and stem to determine if it is long enough for your application.
Overall condition is a conservative 6 out of 10 with typical signs of prior installation and use such as evidence of front brake and hub installation. The finish is in fairly good shape with a smattering of blemishes, as seen in the pics. The underside of the crown shows signs of contact with road spray & grit. Carbon fiber & lawyer tabs are intact, the correct compression plug is in place.
This is a classic fork with plenty of life left to give!
Please see the included pics of the actual fork you will receive. This fork has a look that will be perfect for just about any modern classic road frame!
