Newbie Q on Fork image....
What is going on here?
https://cgi.ebay.com/FRAME-FORK-PAKE-...3A1%7C294%3A50
Why is that tube sticking out so much?!? Is the buyer expected to chop that down?? I have no idea what is going on and know of no place better than here to ask...
Innocent enough question yah?

Yes - most framesets come with an uncut steerer tube on the fork, so that people can leave it as tall as they'd like. That one does look a bit excessive though, haha.
