Hello. I have a set of these forks that have no home since the frame is no longer in my possession. You all know how hard they are to find so I'll spare you the hype.
They are in need of a respray as the paint is rippled and chipped in places. It's only since examining them up close that I've found that the crown tubing on one side is slightly buckled. From what I can tell there is no underlying corrosion or cracks and this is cosmetic rather than functional. The tracking is off by 1mm as a result (see photos - the best I could do was to lay the blades flat on a table to show the light under them). However, I never knew any of this whilst riding them for several years and once clamped into a hub there would be no way of telling.
I'm hoping to do a swap and the only thing I'm really after is a pair of 26" disc only black sheep (or similar) ti forks with a fairly long steerer. By "or similar" I mean ti forks made by a small custom outfit and not a far-east factory. Willing to consider other interesting swaps of high end ti goods but it would have to be something relatively special (I already have ti hubs, stem, seatpost, bars, bar-ends and even cranks, so you get the idea).
