That is too bad about the fork. What is the device it is siting in/on?
I think I would treat myself to new wheels. You have been riding the same ones since '82 so it is time to upgrade. I put my foot down over the weekend and decided since I bought 3 set of wheels in the last month the wheels on my belived '87 Sport SX are headed for the dust bin. They have tons of all kinds miles on them and the rear was rebuilt with a new rim in '87 anyway.
