very rare piece,looks great. Nice build-the 700c fork prob makes it a bit more stable for recreactional riding. Bet the 650c makes it twitchy nervous. Enjoy

Yes, it is very stable with two 700c. Accelerating in bends with some lock on is not a problem. What's bothering is that it requires a lot of power to get going because of the too rearward position.
The 650c fork and F wheel would sort this out, but would increase instability and shoulder pain if carrying a bag.

I began the search for the fork, I've a couple options.
I could have a steel fork made, for 100-150€ with paint.
Or I can buy a used carbon fork. A good friend of mine has one, but he hasn't decided if he'll set it to me yet.

Go for the steel if you do mostly street riding. Don't know where you ride but 'round here a CF track fork ,esp used,would be at risk on the road. Enjoy

I found an early 1990s 650 Peugeot carbon fork for 5€ today. Dunno how I could find a better deal.
Next step, paint.

Thanks!
I also have news on the fork.
When I bought the bike it had this 700mm carbon fork. But as you can see the chain stays are very, very horizontal, hinting the bike may have started his life with a 650 fork.
I got my hands on an original steel Mécacycle fork, albeit it is a 700, I had a friend who can shorten it to transform it in a 650. So, in the end, the bike may end up with a 650 front wheel with its original front fork.
Should look even better.
