It looks great and as long as it is straight with no cracks it's definitely worth the shipping. Just want to double check the measurements: 1x5 inch stearer tube and this is for a 26" wheel with 9mm axle, correct? It really does look great and if everything checks out you can get back to me whenever you figure out the shipping costs and let me know how you want to be paid. Really psyched I finally got the fork I was looking for, thanks!
