ive built a set of forks for my track bike but now need to put some bend into them is there a way of bending the blades without quinking them and also getting both blades even?

cheers

How many frames have you done? thats a really nice blend of traditional/modern, and looks like it will fly round the boards

its the first ive built so its a big learning curve but its straight and rides nice on the road so fingers crossed

it's a lovely effort, top mark to you! althought I must ask why the track-end is sloped upward oppose to horziontal?

when i built the frame the track ends were horizontal in relation to the rear chain stay but i have since been told most frames have track ends pointing downwards slightly so they are flat when the chainstays are angled downwards

just to clear up i am 1st cat rider and have riden manchester for over 8yrs

Hate to break it to this dude, but autumn 2009 is all about box section / low flange.

the bike is for track raceing and is not a fashion accessory

just finished brazing in the rear bridge and put the deeps in the cranks are only cheap but theyll do for now and taken the paint off the old forks until i get the new fork blades and bits to build my own

just knocked the bike together today so i could try it out and its not bad but the steering feels a little dull probably due to the head angle and layed back forks but the main thing is how it feels on the boards ive played around with a few different forks but i think some with no caster would realy sharpen it up

just building my own track frame and heres how it looks so far i havent used a jig but ive managed to get it straight so it should work the forks are cinellis out of another bike so there not permanent but the main structures finished

i wish it was my bike but i dont understand how you came to that conclusion nice try anyway columbo

appologies for the gears
