Just a fork though, not a frame that’s probably fine

It didn’t really say, just “Here is an example of what could happen.” One could deduce as much from the filename, though.

Crap, I didn’t even notice that.

'Lumina-um frames you mean

hope i’m not insulting anyone here but i’ve never seen a good bike with those surly corner bars. Red flag for bike idiocy.

also the dual derailleur hangers are probably cuz those stamped dropouts are too thin and the qr wasn’t clamping properly

Kogswell fork failure on braceline. Conclusion in the thread at this point is a super poor/ill-advised construction method, and, based on the most recent post, not isolated to just this fork.

Shit I guess Kogswell is going out of business

There’s a story I haven’t heard, here.

Kogswell went out of business in like 2009

IDK if there’s any use in armchair sleuthing over a fork made nearly 20 years ago but braceline are the ones to do it and mention lawsuits

I have an old Waterford paramount
If it fails can I sue a company that is closed?
