NJS of LFGSS

yeah i have access to a pillar drill if it comes to it, that should help.

Get cheapish one and save the fork

Just drill the original fork, there are enough un-drilled NJS forks out there for the people who actually care about that sort of thing. It makes sense to use the fork that was designed to match the geo of the frame.

yeah i agree , the frame is to be ridden, i don't intend to sell soon so not bothered about 'losing the value' by drilling the fork.

Just beware some fork crowns don't have the extra metal thickness for brake mounting.
Others will be a road fork that will be plugged with brass.
For example samson fork crown are available in either road or track. Where as 3rensho I think only come in road. Some builder take a lot care to plug fill and file to look seamless.

is there a way of telling this ?

Not really sure. May be someone who's done it before or know what they are looking for could shine a torch down the steerer tube to see down it.

Otherwise I wouldnt really risk it you could very quick make scrap metal out of decent fork.

Not worth it considering your options that are available.

hi hello i joined the gang

^Dude, you need to scrub that UNO logo off!

is that just a case of acetone and elbow grease? If so, consider it done.

Edit: Absolutely no elbow grease required. Just kind of, waved a cloth over the seatpost and it was silver.

Not sure if I posted mine already...

I think I've seen you on this on Lower Clapton road a while ago. Definitely a head turner!

a game of "hide the seatpost?"

Shame i don't have a better camera
