ABSTRACT:
A fork assembly comprising a stiff steerer tube made of metal or the like, a generally hollow unitary crown and blade component made of molded resin-impregnated fibrous material, and a connecting assembly for interconnecting the steerer tube to the unitary crown and blade component at a first position above and a second position below a bicycle head tube. The blades of the unitary component have a lower portion for wheel attachment, an upper portion for attachment at the first steerer tube position, and an intermediate crown portion integrally uniting the upper and lower blade portions and a crowned boss for attachment at the second steerer tube position. The steerer assembly may include a laterally extending anchor member which is captured in the crown boss as it is molded from the resin-impregnated fibrous material. The anchor member may have downwardly projecting legs laminated between overlapped wall sections of the crown portions of the blades.
