This bike is all original but it’s been out in the elements (I’m told in a barn) for decades. These forks were very rusted. I couldn’t get the tube to spin, even after soaking it penetrating oil for a few days, a large vice and pipe wrench. So I pulled out the cutting wheel.There was a crack in the alloy on the lowers that came with the bike, so they were are unusable. I didn’t mind cutting it.Here is what’s inside. They are the 21” shorter ones. I’ve also confirmed the bushings and washers. Thanks for the advice!
