Hi all, I think I may be sorted now for forks, as another Green Lane section member has offered what sounds too good to miss. Aren't clubs brilliant? :D

I also have some lower legs of a 1st series Camel but they need welding (cracks at the part where the axle is blocked (or was). Also some inner legs (how do you say this in decent English?), rusty, maybe even some Excalbur legs which have the same dimensions.
Thanks Hans, I'll keep them in mind. For the English words for inner legs we say stanchion, and for the outer part it's slider. I know the German version for stanchion is gabelrohr but can't remember what slider is! Absolute geen idee hoe in Nederlandse taal is het?
Hi Steve,
In Germán stanchion is Standrohr and slides is Tauchrohr :wink:
