FAKAGO!

For lots of reasons.

I pass on bikes or frames with missing or replacement forks! Why? What happened to the original? Paint can hide a multitude of sins!

The theory that someone replaced the original fork with a carbon fiber fork is very????

If that were the case why didn't the owner keep the original fork, just in case?

Was a carbon fiber fork used because the bike was in a front ender and a CF fork was easier to get than a steel replacement?

I think that a lot of recently repainted frames were projects that someone sunk a lot of money into before ever riding the assembled bike. After building up the bike the owner didn't like the fit, ride, handling or whatever?

Except in a few situations like truly rare or expensive bikes or frames, it's difficult to recoup the restoration costs for most refinished bikes!
