    I might take the paint off the forks just to be sure but I didn't see any cracks.

    And last night I refitted the forks on this too after straightening them, from where I fell off it the back wheel ended up pretty badly buckled, tried to straighten it and 3 spokes literally popped out of the rim, this thing is jinxed lol

    Gave the frame a once over with T cut, amazing how it bought the orange back to life! Also my nicer set of bars/stem came so fitted them on

    Credit where it's due! It's impossible to find the inch spaced vinyl and I love the fact you made a stitched one instead of settling for the next best pleated vinyl.
