First, Sorry to Is01 and Mo. Job stress and Family stress both suck.
Update on bent bike forks. I'm going to name my home shop Barbaric Bike Shop. Straightened them with pipe (actually old bumper jack support) which I chamfered the biting edge and put a piece of inner tube between. Turned out OK. Used a yard stick to compare. PS sorry about big pic. I'll have to figure that out.

Never would have thought to use a car as a vise!

Bonus, walking stick collections take up less space than bicycle collections.

Looks good! At this point I think I'd go ahead and ride it and see if it's squirrely. Do you know what the rake is supposed to be?

Sorry to hear about your bro’s MoAlpha. Best advice other than listening is suggest they each get into counseling, ideally with someone who does CBT.

Sadly it’s on them at this point. I hope the fog clears and they both come to positive resolution. I’m certain you’ve done all you can. Again positive thoughts

Weather in Knoxville looks blah. I wonder if Velo is enjoying it.

Just heard that former NBA player Shaun Bradley was hit by a car while riding his bike back on 1/20 and is now a paraplegic. Sad.
