Interesting that the rest of the frame looks good. Growing up in St. Lawrence Cty. N.Y. with salted winter roads, maybe Montreal is the same and the salt collected on the fork crown? Hopefully a frame builder type Miyata Cogniscenti can shed some light on that fork assembly. Looks pretty heavy duty and if the component layers aren’t separating…
