oh that sounds bad
Didnt think it was that difficult.
I did mean to make a handle bar stem. Not the forks.
I seen in a cycle mag a reveiw of a Pedersen replica.
They thought the steering was stiff, so took the forks out.
They had been extended on the steerer tube, slightly squint
Thats got to be dead straight. No room for error.
Especially if you hit bumps at 30mph.
Maybe a BMX lay back seat post could be used for the stem, with a clamp welded to that.
Be a bit easier. Plus it would be strong steel.
