Are these forks OK?

Sorry if this a stupid question but...
Have they been in a crash or something, and would they be ok to ride on?

NO DO NOT RIDE THEM!

Only joking, they look fine.

lol,

no i just wanted to confirm their fate because i went to bc and a guy said they might have been in a crash, but tbh he only glanced at them and was a few feet away.

it look like it designed to be that shape, don't take my word for it as I has never seen that kind of fork before.

did it said lapebie?

/\; yes that french rider of another era.

took the photo on my mac, hence the backwards spelling

whatever you do, do not respray the frame or whatsoever, it's fucking gorgeous as it is, especially the typography.

I really like the colour in real life,
unfortunately Lapebie is stickered on (realised last week), but i still really like it, and anyhow vainity is foreign to authenticity and blind to reality

I tried to find information about this bike, harder to find than hen's teeth!

The bend in the forks looks far too exact to have anything to do with a crash. Do you own the bike? If so, presuming the paint job is original, you might be able to tell by looking at the bends and seeing if the paint/metal is strained.... which it won't be bvecause the forks are supposed to look like that. Though don't qoute me...actually, quote away, i'll just deny it in court!

the whole frame is rather distressed looking, so by comparrisson the forks are almost zenlike. Thanks for giving me hope forms!

No problemo dude!

Is this in the porn thread? If not, should be, those are the dream.didn't wanna risk the re-post tho!!

are the forks on the blue bike on back to front?

bars turned through almost 180

hope your skewer leaver facing forward for the same reason... :{)

i have conventional forks, in case you want swap yours for something less "dangerous" :{)

my bike is my weapon, hence no chain (better for stabbing) also going to swap bars for bullhorns with maces on the end

Lapebie's Revenge, MUHAHAHA!

well i doubt they were made like this....they sport m-guard eylets and there is not enough clearance for the guards to fit under the down tube.....

there designed like that im most definately sure
hetchins did a similar thing on the rear and the front
