I know that when buying a new alloy, titanium or steel frame you can choose to have the forks in the same material or upgrade (!) to carbon. But looking at frames on Ebay I was astonished to find a helluva lot were being offered with no forks.... The only thought that struck me was that a second hand frame that had no forks had had an accident and the seller was getting rid of the (less?) damaged parts. Perhaps I'm a tad too suspicious but my money is very precious to me . This is in the UK, what is it like in the USA, I'm curious? Now I've unburdened myself I feel a lot happier, thanks for reading.
