Hi all. None of the responses to Matthew's question about fork repair have dealt w/ the central issue: Finding and punishing the person who sold him a fork w/ a damaged steerer tube! Sometimes we get so caught up in the technical bits we forget the human element. Avenge our brother! Find this clown [he may still be in Italy] and make him pay!
