Bike: 84 Centurion Prestige, bought the frame on ebay.
Issue: On some upstate NY roads with regular waves or bumps, this bike has a front end wobble on decending that is
not acceptable. My other bikes don't get this resonance, bumps yes, but not scary wobbles.
Two Pronged Solution (hope and pray 😀 ): I suspect this Tange race-bike fork could be part of the problem. The DOs are spaced at 96 mm, which isn't right, it's bent some how. I lack the skills/tools to really measure this fork, also I don't like it, at all.
I have 2 replacements try out; a Time carbon fork with the exact same geometry, and a heavy generic steel fork with 9mm more rake.
I'm trying the carbon fork first, with testing in a couple weeks.
Predictions, comments, howls of outrage?
