Do these seem bent to you?
Looking at this fork but some of the pictures make it look bent and that's not what I'm after.

Looking at the pictures if looks like the leg has been rotated slightly within the fork crown. Nothing bent as far as I can see.

All you would need to do us loosen the crown bolts, realign the fork leg and tighten the crown up again. Job done

Right, these forks can "turn" like that.
It was the side picture where it said Radsport Koch where one of the bosses seemed to have lost some viagra power.

I reckon reckon they're correct, because it means the brake boss is in line with the wheel rim rather than being at an angle.

I'd be more concerned if the bosses were level when the fork is clearly tilted forward.

Its just the angle of the leg in the crown. I think its twisted round a bit in relation to the other. Theres a trick to setting them straight, its on the service sheet........which.....errr...i seem to have misplaced at the moment....but if you need it..

These forks always look a pit on the pi55 when they are out of the bike.

Currently thinking of buying those, was wondering about the price here.

That not a bad price these days!

Ive seen worse go for more!

They seem to have gone bonkers in the last year, but the world is changing!

Thats £260 .... roughly.
