Steve - i came across this on a redline frame, where someone had used a set of 1 inch threaded forks in a 1.18th frame, i reckon it was done at the 'kind of crossover times' where aheadset forks were scarse- ie you cant use threaded
forks in a 1.18 without the top cup being 1 inch

-plus i reckon the guy that fitted the top one in your frame, knew what he was doing, as fitting it like that would add some rake to the fork angle, making it less twitchy

-plus of course, it would save money on having to buy new forks/headset/stem

Thaks for reply Steve - thats dead useful about the fork rake! Thanks mate!
