I think part of it is that I'm just a big fat-ahrsed dude and this is a little 19" frame meant for girls. Perhaps that could have something to do with it.

After over bending it and then bending it back it is holding steady. I ran over some really tough terrain -some of the worst striated pre-paving pot-hole strewn tarmac Humbolt Park has to offer and it is is holding steady. Even popped off of a few curbs. It is OK. Second time is a charm.

I got a new fork in today from Niagara for one of my other builds and tested out my fork-measuring jig and it seems that either my calibration is off 1/16" or the fork came off 1/16" -how close do those cheap SunLite forks come to perfectly true? is 1/16" error within what one can expect for them? It could be that the fork is off 1/32" and my jig is off 1/32" and we are adding up errors. YEAH -that's it...

So the fork is pretty straight now and the rear triangle is pretty straight and bike rides straight so I'm happy. What is there not to like? What a way to spend a day.
