Building up an old Laguna frame and would like to run the proper set of forks. Looking for the tube style fork with the "L" cutout in the dropouts. Can be chrome, painted, and/or rusty. Here is an example pulled off the web:
Thanks!

Would likely ship on a Monday from 23451 in Virginia. Buy four & I will pay...
Epic "80s Goodness". All original down to the reflector kit & matching alloy valve stem caps - only missing Jamis labeled discs in the ends of the grips.
Sand Jam tires are very serviceable - not dry rotted. Sumo rims:
Suntour 5-speed shifts great:
Great chrome on Akisu forks:
Original...
Picked up a one owner Worksman M2600. It was won as a prize in a contest at a local nightclub in 1985 and not used much. Has the horizontal rear dropouts that some of us have noticed.
I have been asked a couple times about the difference between a Worksman m2600 frame (aka: straight bar INB) and the Emory Giant (Mojave / Sand Cruiser) frame:
Side by side comparison, Emory behind Worksman:
Emory on right:
Frames have similar geometry, though Emory's seat tube is 2"...
Picked this one up real cheap. Needed tires & a good once over. It is a fun little, all original bike. I bought it for the wheels, nice Araya alloys. I re-worked it with some newer wheels and have it for re-sale locally.
Picked up an 80's Ross cruiser for $35 from an older guy locally. Had these rims on it:
They roll straight, and even have the matching blue alloy axle nuts & valve stem caps I remember using back in the day. Front hub is a "Sunshine" & rear is a Bendix 76 coaster. The spokes are quite...
Restoring a friend's Earth Cruiser he bought new back in the day. Also doing a Worksman INB for his son & decided to piggyback the Emory "no-bar" for some economies of scale at the powder coater. The Emory will likely be a project for next winter.
Picked up "Sparky" on Craigslist last Fall as it had the frame & fork I like & the price was right. Pretty sad condition when I brought it home:
Stripped F&F down & threw everything else in a bowl of kerosene to soak a while.
Had a friend run it through a media blasting and it cleaned up...
I was helping a friend move in the early-mid '90s when he tossed his childhood BMX racing bike in the dumpster. I went and got it & later stuck it in my attic. "Found" it in my attic the other day & pulled it out. It is a Cycle Pro / Cyclepro "Bonzai Pro" from 1982 I believe. It has great...
