Wanted - Fork and Brake Calioer

As above, i am on the lookout for a fork and brake caliper.

Required spec:

Straight steerer, min 18cm.
Disc brake compatible.
Clearance for 650b x 47mm tyre.

Something like a surly straggler/ disc trucker or croix de fer fork would be ideal. Steel or carbon preferably.

Also on the lookout for a single mechanical brake caliper to fit to said fork. Must work with a drop bar lever.

Anyone have anything kicking about that they would be willing to part with?

Thanks

I have a BB7mtn in my spares box if you want it?
Bit ratty looking but works fine, I will need to dig about for the bolts/spacers/cone things.
Stick some money in the bear feed fund, I’m happy to post it it out if you fancy it?!

No problem, for full disclosure my gravel/touring/adventure bike(delete as appropriate) has been running mtn BB7s since I built it 2yrs ago. Works fine for me.

Running with drop bar levers you mean? If you are having no issues, i'll give it a try then, thanks. Will drop you a message.

I’ve got a black 650b straggler fork, need to check the length of the steerer. I got it for a project that didn’t end up happening. I’ll get it measured up and message you
