Bought some.forks on eBay.
Username checks with a regular retrobike poster. May be on here?
After purchase I realised a-c was not right for me so I sent a polite message to seller asking if they were happy to go ahead with the sale as sale price was v cheap. They wanted to so I paid knowing I'd find a use for them somewhere.
Unwrappwd them today and the forks are out. Not sure if it's the legs, dropouts or both. See pics. Tried with 2 wheels.
Messaged the seller with the photos and they replied that 5mm out is nothing for steel forks. They suggested i bend them back or get LBS to do it.
I suspect they think I'm trying to pull a fast one. The forks are damaged.
