I think the Miyata 718a was an aluminum bike with a lugged steel fork.Ii'm going to pick a nit, here: neither of these are "lugged" forks. Infinity, Prestige is lighter and not lugged, but the Infinity is a pretty nice lugged fork. Other than the aluminum fork being less flexible, I can't see a problem if you like it.Īs far as the Prestige vs. If it is a feasable option, I would consider another aluminum fork as well. Ideally I would have something with a slopped crown and from the late 80's/early 90's. Is the Prestige that much better than the infinity, and is there a noticable weight difference between the two? Performance?Īlso, if there is a better fork option out there, please let me know. The fork rake is the same and no weight is given, so that doesn't help much. My knowledge of bicycles tells me the Prestige fork is the better choice given that its a better quality tubing and is triple-butted. Tange Prestige Fork: Tange Prestige triple-butted CrMo, 38mm rake, no weight given. Soma Infinity Fork: Tange Infinity CrMo, 38mm rake, no weight given. Considering this, which of the two forks is the better choice? The current aluminum fork as well as the whole bike is quite light and I'd like to keep it that way. I was told aluminum forks must be replaced "every 7 years" (confirm/deny?) and am considering purchasing a new carbon/aluminum/steel fork. I'm looking to replace the current aluminum fork on my 1990 Miyata 1400A.
