I picked up this fork on ebay. The headset cups were strategically left on, hiding the damage. The damage goes all the way around; more extensive than the photo shows.
Fixing this would be expensive, correct? I had communications with Seller prior to buying; i got the feeling he know little to nothing about bikes. The damage looks shiny and fresh. I think he just took a pipe wrench and forced the headset off. I have to decide if I want to do a return.
The bit of reading i did, it appears to be a bigger job than I could do. The threading metal to stripped right off in places; no metal to re-thread.
Any thoughts?
