very early jap SKYWAY TA fixed and ready for sale

<< < (3/7) > >>

monkian:
Would there be any risk of damaging the forks by removing the plates?

Zippy:
These early jap frames seem to be popping up quite regular nowadays.

My Frame number is K 02681

You'd wonder why somebody would do that to the forks, bound to have had a reason  :-\

Suppose nows as good a time to fix it, just after it's been blasted

If you look at the first pic of the forks, on the inside of the left dropout it looks like it has been welded under the arrow. Skyway forks are prone to cracking so maybe he wasn't happy with just the weld and decided to double strength each side to be sure  :-\

Might have been done mid-90's when fat drops got popular for extra strength?
