The metamorphosis of Bikenerd's old jalopy is complete. It now has a Proper Matching Fork built by Argos to the measurements of the previous one (55mm offset, tight bend, long blades for the original 27" clearance otherwise the whole bike would slope forwards).
The brakes are also new - the Alhongas worked well, but these were cheap and a bit nicer, as well as not being rusty.
Purists will hate the A-headset, MTB stem (they're 25.4 bars) and 65mm of spacers, but it works better than a quill and you can't muck up the finish when adjusting the bearings.
