BSA 26" bent fork needed
Hello old Friends, its been some time.
I purchased a 26" BSA 3 speed for my 80 year old Mom to tool around the Neighborhood, she loves it
the fork was bent when we got it, and this winter I removed it, it was bent in the stem, the the fool who sold it to us bent the forks to compensate for the issue,
its orangey red, the stem is exactly 7" long w/o the lower race.
I have pictures but with photobucket gone I am very sad, all my lovely threads are useless.
If you might have a fork for me please contact me.
thank you - Mike now in Maryland

Can you paint? Tolerate black or silver?
I'd head off to your local co-op, and see if they have any good forks that will work on the bike.

Likely a hard fork to find middle of bottom race to top of crown measure would help 7 in tube or total just don't look right for this bike.
