Gugie and thumpism, you're pretty observant. I had noticed that earlier and hadn't taken the time to check it out. It looked a little odd to me, too, so I compared it to a spare Grand Record fork I have and eyeballed it very carefully. You are right, it is bent a bit. Looks like I'll need to get that repaired when I get around to tearing it down for rebuilding. Other than that, when I was cleaning it up this afternoon I marvelled at how good the condition is on this frame. Very few chips and all the markings in perfect shape (other than the always deteriorated Reynolds decal). The lady who was selling it was the original owner. She had it on C/L but only had 3 pics of it and none of them showed the drive side or the lugs, so it appeared to be a cheaper model. I was able to buy it for less than the Ebay price of the rear derailleur.
