Does this fork look bent?

Not sure?

yep , it sure does . LOL

looks like a crunchy granola kind of fork

The bike seems to have held up, but imagine explaining this to the accident investigator.

Fork looks fine. Rear wheel not so much.

Nah, it's probably just the camera angle.

I think the problem has to do with the material's grain structure, of the tree or the bike I'm not so sure. Andy

That bike is forked up.
Sticky situation.
It's spoken for.
Current owner is a sap.
Just leaf it there.
That's what I wood do.
Tree more decades and it will be gone.
It was only good for lumbering around.
Pining for a new bike ?
Branch out to a new model.

Wow are you way off - that's the trunk, not the fork. BTW - what's that stuck in it?

I am n the presence of a master. Andy

[MENTION=13460]Homebrew01[/MENTION] - very clever. I like your use of words.

Naah, all he has to do is spruce it up a bit. Your suggestions go against the grain.

Snopes sidestepped the question of whether or not the fork is toast:

You're going out on a limb.

That's knot right.

The reason that caused Sonny Bono to give up cycling in favor of skiing????

Oddly enough, it looks a lot like the little bike I learned on in the early 1950's. Even the stamped fork, airless hard-rubber tires, and welded-spoke wheels. My two brothers and I learned on it, and wore the rear tire completely out twice.

You missed an opportunity. You could have tied it to a tree and it would've become famous.

I am still stumped by this.
Has anyone logged a similar occurance ?
I had an idea, but was barking up the wrong tree.

tis but a scratch
