Re: [KOG] Re: Photos of Bikes w/Konversion Forks

I have a Kogswell konversion fork, that I was planning on having
the canti posts cut off and Mafac centerpull posts welded on for a low
trail conversion.

Then, I came across a surprising quandry - the donor bikes that I
picked up all seem to be relatively low trail already, so the
konversion fork box is sitting in the corner unopened.

If you decide to get that Trek powdercoated, let me know. If the
raleigh competition wins the bake-off, it will need to be
powdercoated. Maybe we can swing a discount from Maas for doing two.
