Hello all,
Thanks for everyone's responses to my inquiry. Some people shot me a few links to potential fork sources, others offered some of their shop bounty, while still others offered their wisdom on fork aligning: you were all a huge help. It was interesting to see the different sides. Some said do not use it at all, others said to have it checked at a LBS and have it aligned and most quoted prices from $25-100 being standard.
I went to a LBS and had it checked out. It turned out to be an easy and painless fix. The dropout was just slightly out of alignment. Everything else such as rake & brazing were given a clean bill of health, and I trust the gents who inspected it. I cannot say enough about the guys at Coventry Cycle Works. If in Portland, please make a point to stop in and say hello. They deal in mostly recumbents, but they had a few gorgeous on topic specimens for sale. They let me come back and watch what they were doing, and explained everything to me. We gave it a thorough inspection, and then they explained the many ways a fork could be out of alignment. In the end, a few careful applications of some force and they were done. Moreover, they charged me 2 bucks: NO JOKE.
Thanks for everyone's help,
