Hi all,
The current discussion of fork bending reminds me of a question I asked last year that pretty much went unanswered. So, I'll try again. In my small collection of lugged frames, some forks have those brazed-on triangular fork "stiffeners", and some don't. All are handmade, and back in the day, considered high-end rides(P-13,Masi,&etc.) What criteria did builders use to decide whether or not to use these fork stiffeners, & what do they actually do? I personally can't discern much if any difference in fork response.
Well, Happy Holidays to all,
