I have been refreshing a set of 34mm forks for my titled '76C. I have spare bits in boxes, so I found a set of lowers that had been chromed and a set of chromed headlight ears and reassembled them with a spoke front wheel. Appears that the lowers were from a '75 or before so that if I continue with this set up, I will be mounting the caliper in front of the fork. I have a '75 that I can use these on so it is not work thrown away, but does anyone know if any early '76's came like this. The VIN is 447-20528x so it looks like it is about half way through the production cycle, date of manufacture might be 11/75, but it is hard to read with certainty.
The bike is meant to be sold this spring after I ride it for a bit, so it will be easier to sell if it is correct in at least the major parts. I do have set of spare 35mm forks I can use on it, but none in chrome. All my other 34mm legs are pitted and rusty.
Picture of the test fit is coming next post.
