The one the possible-ass-face is selling is quite chipped up, especially around the fork crown. Also, the brake hole on that fork seems really worn too.

Do you have pictures of your bike with the fork? Post them up so we'll have more to look at.

He's got a lot of tidbits that could be stolen goods.

I found something that might or might not help.

Look at both fork crown pictures on the possible-ass face and the original guy; the one that ass face has shows a little hole on the crown but it doesn't seem to show the same hole on the original guy's picture.

Do you remember that the fork crown has a hole like his?

Oh yea, I remember you bought a ****** compression plug for the fork, how does it look like?

After looking at his store, it doesn't seem to have a black 27.2 seatpost but all his forks are labelled the same way:

The steerer column is X" long. I checked with the manufacturer's website and it doesn't list the rake on this brand so I included a side view of the fork so you can determine it's offset.

It has a really nice [insert adjective] [insert colour] finish. It's a used fork but still in great condition. As you can see in the pictures there are some scratches and stains but it's still structurally sound and a very sturdy fork.

Here's your chance to upgrade your bike to a lighter and stronger fork for a really cheap price!!

It seems like if he owned the forks at one point, he would know the rakes on them. Something doesn't smell right.
