Bolt down the crown and clamp near the bend. Use a junk front hub to hold the two legs together and apply pressure there with a big lever. How does that sound?
I would just bolt down behind the dropouts and drop a piece of tubing over the steerer and pull down on that.
I would just sell the low trail frameset at a profit to someone on the 650b list
there’s a ton of people who want a Rawland Stag but can’t buy one
Thanks Dr. Welby.
Fred, it’s a good beater frame for me and i’m way too lazy to ship a beater frame.
What frame? Maybe you could just trade forks with someone who has a similar frame and wants low trail.
heh
That’s the third deforming bend on a used fork? I’d pass.

Eric, thanks for your advice. I’ll leave it as is.
I try to be cautious with this stuff. Teeth and all.

Yeah- that was a biggun, with a fairly high bar height, too.
Did some historical fillet action today:

No more true temper?
That’s word on the street. HJ will still be selling for the next year and is working with another domestic mill to see if they can take over production.
oh man that sucks. I am building my first true temper frame right now.
It seems really high quality and very hard.
Each tube came in it’s own oil condom which is nice.
Can Tarck save the day? How much would an operation like that cost?
also eric that enormous fillet is ridiculous
Yes, yes it is.
I like to think of it as additive structural embellishment.
