Do we get a backstory after you frantically do whatever you're doing? Sweet detail on the inner blades.

Sorry about the yelling in the thread title - this fork was ending on eBay, and I wasn't sure what it might be. It's rough, but I'll see what I can do.

OK - so I picked up a '74 Raleigh International frame for cheap a couple months ago, and I've been trying to track down an Int'l fork. The only one I've found was on eBay, and my computer didn't want me to have that fork. So, I spotted this one as a replacement until I can find an original. Since everything needs to be repainted, it should work OK. This will be a long-term project if try to bring it back to original specs. In the meantime, I'm toying with everything from a 3-speed drop bar to a 12-speed racer. I think I'll go with dark maroon. I'll keep the fork details intact, though. Glad the fork was British! Here's the frame:

Nice. The Roberts fork will be a good fit for the Intl.
