I contacted Tommisini for paint and chroming and they referred me to Red Rose Imports again. Red Rose quoted $700 for paint/decals and $100 for the fork plus shipping to and from them in PA.
Used the telescoping gage and repeatedly measured the ST ID which is difficult to do accurately and got a 1.0 mm wall thickness, so I assumed Cromor.
I then stripped more paint to be sure there was no repairs, maybe 1/2 the area and weighed the frame on three different scales, the last a calibrated lab scale, and it showed 1822g. which I find hard to believe for a 57.5 c/c ST and 56.5 TT.
