But for a $70 gas-pipe frame Raleigh-type (Robin Hood, actually), it worked out.

As said, I will pull the fork and check for cracks, and fine-tune alignment, etc. I work in the tool and die industry and as such, have precision fixturing and measurement tools at my disposal.

They don't call me a "swampyankee" for nothin'
