Hello and thanks for checking out this listing of a used TIME France CAT carbon fiber fork made for Litespeed Bicycles! I discovered this fork in the back stock of a high-end bicycle shop as it ceased operating and it will come to you in the excellent used condition seen in the included photographs.


This fork was designed for road frames that require a straight 1" THREADED steerer tube. Its steel alloy steerer tube measures 140mm in length from the crown race seat to its end. Standard rim caliper brake required. For 700c wheel, 43mm rake.


Axle to crown measurement is 370mm, meaning tire clearance is MAXED out at 26-27mm rubber depending upon rim/tire make/model.


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 solid 7 out of 10 with typical signs of prior installation and use such as scuffing of the dropouts and crown from front hub and brake installation. The underside of the crown shows signs of contact with road spray and grit, but otherwise the finish is in fantastic shape...very rare for a fork that is over 25 years old. This is a lovely classic fork with plenty of life left for a new owner.

The perfect choice for your classic Litespeed or any bike calling for a threaded 1" steerer.


Please see the included pics of the actual fork you will receive.
