I'm sure this was the original fork -- did they maybe produce these differently for the American mkt? Before I do anything, I think I will grease up the moto fork for the Schwinn, make sure it really does fit nice and tight (as I suspect the tolerances are pretty slim), then maybe take apart the BB as well to see what i need to do w/ it. That way, at least I won't have paiinted the whole thing, etc., b/f I find out what I'm in for.
