Hi, more questions about this Martrac I bought on ebay a couple of weeks back!
Having got it back from its respray I have built it up and been thinking that the fork doesn't look quite right. It looks to me like it has a very slight backward bend to it - only noticeable at the top section of the fork before the curve. I have compared the forks to a few other track bike forks and they all seem to be a bit straighter in that area.
What do you guys think? I am concerned it may have been in a crash. The forks legs seem parallel from the front and the wheel fits on without any trouble so if it has been crashed it must have been a very even hit.
Should I be concerned? Should I get a new fork?
Any thoughts appreciated.
Cheers
D
