Centurion Elite fork

Just grumbling a little.

I'm STILL working on that old Centurion...slowly but surely. I've decided I'm not amazingly thrilled with the fork. I thought that fork seemed a little bit of a tank, and it turns out it's High Tensile steel. Ugh.

Maybe I'm just being a spoiled prima donna, wishing it was Cro-Moly.

The bike is still turning out pretty, but I'm torn about whether I should keep my eyes peeled for, perhaps, a Centurion Comp TA fork on e-bay. If I bought that it would hardly count as a restoration though. It hardly does now, but that would really be removing a huge part of the original bike.

Sigh.
