Oh no, am I banished to the modern era?

They'll just laugh at my tiny wheels!

If they have the black magnesium braces then there is. Reasonable chance they are cracked around the bolt holes.

If they have the black magnesium braces ... cracked around the bolt holes.

Hope not - here is the ebay listing, they have silver braces...

They are magnesium as well.

Re:

Okay - good to know what to look for when I pick them up; would cracking be visible to the eye? I'm guessing possibly not...

Sometimes big crack, sometimes small. Also they corrode quite badly.
Unlikely you'll find better condition ones without paying a lot more though.

Re:

No, I've seen a few come and go and these have been the best cost/condition I've seen - I'll get a proper look at them tomorrow. I'll try and get some macro shots of the brace too... post them here so we can all go blind looking for cracks

Re:

So I picked them up this morning. They look pretty good aside from the small patches on the stanchions, another thing I need to try and sort...

Anyway, can't see any cracks on the braces though there is a bit of corrosion, what's the best way to take these back to bare metal? I've never had anything made of Magnesium before!

I'll do some photos later though I doubt they'll be of much interest as I'm sure you all know what these forks look like they'll hopefully be more of use to Tim when I contact him.
