Is this anything to worry about? lug content

get a few more pics up tomorrow, might help other folk give their verdict/opinion.

personally I would expect there to be a fairly tight fit between the tube and lug there, but maybe the quality control wasn't great and the lug was angled slightly off, hence what looks like the small gap down the back of it??

or perhaps it is the result of an impact, and the forks were replaced??

I'm no frame builder though, so I'd hold fire until someone more knowledgable than myself comes along :)
 






So I tried that test with a strip of paper and there is definately a gap. I can push a slither down 3 inches so not just a paint issue. Appreciate it's only a simple re braze but not a job for me so will be passing this on if anybody fancies it

At least let him get over it first ... :LOL:

I stick with my original prognosis though :-(

Fixable with cost or ride it till it breaks (if it ever does) ?

WD :D
