You can flip the fork "dropouts", left to right, and rake the frontend out

Re: Presidents Day Finds

If you build just one would you part with the left over springer fork. I need one

Re: Presidents Day Finds

It is a rare day when I sell cool parts but you'll get a PM if I do sell.

Since I got bit by the bike bug I raided my dads barn and came out with a New Departure Model D hub and this cool, seemingly well optioned Schwinn Continental complete with some funky (to me) levers and a generator light kit!!
