I had a crash the other day which has bent my forks. I've just noticed cracked paint around the headtube lugs too.
Normally frames bend at the tube but this is at the lug. It's only noticeable because of the stressed paint. Is it safe to ride with a new fork?
Is it safe to braze in new fork blades into the old crown? It doesn't appear to be damaged.
Only reason I am considering this is the bike was my grandpa's which I was slowly restoring with some upgrades. So there is some sentimental value involved.
