I can assure you that 753 forkblades did exist, (I shall ignore the post
that offers the opinion that transfers do not always reflect the tubing
used, this WAS NOT the case at Ilkeston). As stated they were pre raked but
it was possible to change the rake by small amounts. The Ilkeston Time
Trial Frames were raked to 37mm, the production team road frames to 42mm.
Some specials were raked to 45 and 50 mm.
