Steel fork blades: Raking-only service in Australia?

Postby owly » Sat Dec 10, 2022 11:46 am

Briefly noted online pics of Aust fabricators and fork bending mandrel, but wondering if there's anyone here who would be ok doing the bending-only to suit a certain rake number. I would be freighting the factory blades to them and wanting them sent back in mail for a local person to build the fork.

You could try Peter Campbell at Oaksport or Geoff Duke

Paul Ketelaar in Mackay is another option

WA.

May now consider a non-local to do complete fork fabrication.

Thanks all, once again.
