I will send pics at a later date. Frame is stashed away at this point. It’s a 72 Colgano. On its last ride, the steerer tube broke. When I pulled what remained of the fork, I saw some damage to the paint on the down tube. As the bike in question had been ridden hard and often stored outside, albeit in a dry climate, I chalked up the paint issue to cracks. A car guy I know suggested Magnafluxing. Having only a passing idea of the process, I never followed up on his suggestion. I figured I would look at the frame again if a replacement fork of the right type ever materialized. Still waiting for the fork, but curious about the viability of the frame.
