Pic 10, 11, 12 and 13 show how much the left leg is bent back in relation to the right leg. Pic 10 is up high by the Reynolds decal, pic 11 is just below the paint line, pics 12 and 13 are at the tip. Pic 14 shows initial end alignment.

So my initial assessment is that the left is bent back and with the fork ends being aligned to compensate for the bend.

STRAIGHTENING
Pic 15 Because the left leg is bent back close to crown I'll place the fulcrum point of the straightening tool up high . Pic 16 I bend the leg until both tips hit the cross bar.

Pic 17 After the tips are level with each other I use the dropout aighnment tool to make sure they're on the same plane. They're not.

At this point it's just a matter of going back and forth. I aligned the ends with the dropout tools then check their heights with the cross bar. Pic 18 Lastly I made sure the spacing was 100mm. It was a tick narrow.
