I ended up with a pair of 26” schwinn springer fork legs and crown. The ones that the legs and crown were originally painted. I was comparing to a set I have that i know for sure is original. I see alot of similarities but also with differences. Can anyone help me positively Id?
At first glance they look Original to me, both legs are marked either L or R, they both have those drain holes at the bottom, both seem to made in the traditional quality of the late 50s-60s. Crown also looks correct. Things that send up red flags are the drain holes on the legs are not as long vertically as the drain holes on my confirmed original springer fork. The curve on the fork blades are very similar to my og forks but not dead on. Steering tube on my og fork has the pre 1966 larger diameter crown for larger stem and other crown is smaller diameter. What do you guys think? To my knowledge all the repop had the flattened fork ends instead of the rounded ends and the repops had that ogly welded crown
