I am wondering a bit about the bond.

The Viscount page seemed to indicate heating and shrinking to form a bond, which I would assume precludes using epoxy.

This is a different company, of course, but I wonder if there would be a similar shrink/press bond.

A couple of years ago there was a company that specialized in restoring Vitus frames. Ahhh, I think I found them.

Anyway, perhaps they would be worth contacting, and might have more specific information about the fork, and perhaps even setup for a repair.
