Nice bike.  There isn't a lot of clearance between the front wheel and the bottom of the steerer tube/forks on that model is there?   :shocked:

the forks have'nt been cut down, I think its because the 1 3/8 rims are larger than 1.5's which these were made for :daumenhoch:

The bottom of the steerer tube has been cut as they should not be rounded like that. ???
