my cups and crown race are shot. Pitted and rusted badly. I got new cups via a wald 4080 headset that fit right it. Sadly the crown race that came with it did not. These goofy forks have no shoulder at all at the bottom of the fork crown....its just 1 inch all the way down. The tube and...

Will a girls tank fit a boys frame? I can visually see the difference. They look the same. Are they the same dimensions? I have a boys flightliner and another frameset that needs a tank. I know a guy that has a farily cheap girls frame with tank and was thinking i could use the tank on my boys...
