Hi Jenny,

Can you please verify if the fork blades have a "graceful" bend or the "dog leg" bend shown on OAB's website. Your picture gives me some hope that it's the former rather than the latter.

Thanks!

Wow! Looks like a dream bike! Are you eventually going to put fenders on it?

I really like the braze on Paul Racers.  Is the fork crown threaded on the tops to accept struts for the Mark's Rack?  Things might get cozy in that area so remain patient.   Everyone knows that orange is the fastest bike color.
