Hey all,
Just a quick 1 for those in the know before I send my frame & forks to get re-chromed. I was looking at the forks that I got separately from an 84 Californian frame & they've got an angle to them & from what I remember they should be straight? They're not bent as in damaged just factory angled. Is this correct?? Any answer would be appreciated as I've new stickers & parts ready to build after chroming. Cheers.

The fork legs were slightly angled to the shaft part.

Many thanks for that, nice & quick. looking at them they seemed bent a little more than what ive seen on other pictures.
but they must be ok. cheers

Might be wrong but im sure the forks that came on the mongoose 'grand prix's' had more of a rake on them . Could they possibly be some of them

Bobafett's (John) the man to ask , he'll even tell you the guy's name who welded them

Hmm doubt is seeping into my mind now! i put a straight edge from top to toe & they have 20mm bend measured at the bottom of head tube?
looks quite a lot??
