Right then... After counting the pennies and realising that there's a few quid to be spent buying some carbon forks with 28c or 30c clearance, I've decided to do a 'bodge' myself.. Especially since, after adding decal and details the price will be well in excess of about £250. All I really want to do is ride the thing but also protect the investment.
If I tape up the decal sections then fade out the paintwork with sandpaper back to the raw metal, I should be anle to hopefully do a half decent jobby (background as a painter and decorater... and I have Purdies 😍)...
This is a bodge I done previously and it was still going well a year on when I sold it.
The green hammerite being what I added after cleaning the rusted sections. It's hopefully still being ridden about somewhere in the sunny UK.
