Since it's a moto shall we assume you prefer a "truss rod fork"? I may have a standard fork. what does tube measure top to base?

Not sure what a truss rod is. I googled it and think I know. The nick is 3.5 inches and a standard fork from that era would be great.

I almost bought this 28"-wheeled moto frame on ebay.....love it! You will need a 28" truss fork. Be aware it is longer than a 26" truss rod fork which may not work as well.
Go on the "wanted" forum and post your frame pic up. Someone here has one laying around I am sure.

Is this a Snyder built frame? If so, I might have the correct fork.

Snyder may have used the fastener attachment style of truss rod hardware, (the ones with the aluminum cap nuts).
Or maybe not, like the above.

This is a picture of a H.P. Snyder built "Peerless" for the hardware wholesaler D.P. Harris.
An economy model without the "Rollfast" badge, paint, parts and accessories.

Must have gotten rid of my real short one, just have a 5" now.

My 1929 Westfield has a 3-5/8" head tube on it.

I have a fork that could work, however it is a Mead, and the steer tube would need to be cut down and threaded.

I can send you photos if you are interested. It started out life as a nickel plated fork, someone decided to paint over it, however it should not be to difficult to get back to the nickel, although it probably has flaws in the plating.
