Hello
I have finally started to build up my Don Louis steel frame. All going well until I came to fit some V brakes to the canti studs on the forks.
One side of the rim much closer (say 8mm) to the fork leg than the other. Damn.
I bought the frame from a charity so don't know the background. The main frame looks straight with no apparent damage and verything lines up.
However, despite having no apparent damage, the forks are slighly askew.
Can this be fixed - i seem to remember reading that a framebuilder can cold set the forks in a jig?
Any suggestions welcomed.
