Fork - Some of the worst riding forks ever made are unicrown forks and while the look would match well I just couldn't do it. So I selected this simple curvy crown that in internal (crown goes into the blades instead of the other way round) so it would have a all-of-one-piece seamless look under paint.

OK, thanks. I'll Poirot the brass-web photos more closely...but I doubt I'll find any clue...I am not a frame-builder.

Now I understand; I didn't think you would produce a basic, standard uni-crown fork for such a lovely frame.

Is the arrow pointing at a clue? An architectural/structural element found on Gothic arches, etc.?
