Warthog Posted August 12, 2017 Share Maybe this is the wrong thread... I picked up an old Raleigh Lenton in a scrapyard while ago. Researched it now and found it's a 1953. Frame is fine, only some surface rust. Problem is, fork is damaged. It's bent, and has a serious ding on inside of right fork. Can it be repaired/Fixed? if so, how, or where? Please help?

Eppie Posted August 14, 2017 Share Bump...It is possible to straighten a fork, but dents are difficult to fix. It may be better to try and find a replacement fork if the bike is worth restoring. Can you post a picture of the frame and fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH8MUD Posted August 24, 2017 Share Looking for 600 tricolor brake leavers. Actually any shim levers from early 90s in good knick will suit. Pleash, pleash help a brother.Look for pair of Shimano Tiagra R400 brake levers. (Talk about the trickle down effect! ) http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/shimano-tiagra-r400-brake-levers/rp-prod13672 (unfortunately out of stock at CRC now) These are 100% the same as the Shimano 600 brake levers. Except for the the colour and "600" painted on it. I have bought these and used the rubber hoods and plastic parts to refurbish a pair of shoddy Shimano 600 levers to new. (except for the scratches ) Hope it helps you. Edited August 24, 2017 by IH8MUD DJR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frame is fine, only some surface rust. Problem is, fork is damaged. It's bent, and has a serious ding on inside of right fork. Can it be repaired/Fixed? if so, how, or where? Please help?Many years ago when my brother's DHC was stolen the buggers put a dent in the top tube. When we recovered the bike (another story all together), my Dad just filled the dent with brazing, sanded the tube down and resprayed. When I inherited the bike many years later it was still going strong and you could hardly see where the dent was. I'm doing exactly the same now with the motorbike I am building - the I'm filling the holes in the mudguard with brazing and will re-chrome after. You wont even know they were there.
