I saw this on Classic Rendezvous accompanied by this comment "And they called Lambert and Viscount the “death fork” bikes."
Perhaps posted by one of our group? I thought it worth posting.
Cheers
Jim

Didn’t Trek once have to recall a certain model after the forks were prone to breaking?
I read an article somewhere a while back and there’s been several bicycle companies with failing parts but anyone only ever seems to remember Lambert/Viscount.

Hi Jim, I was the one who posted that over on CR, been a member over there since very early on. That was on a bike we had in for a tune up at the shop it contract with here in western PA. Not sure I would have thought of that configuration. The owner said to leave it as is. We did, with proper documentation on the repair order. Glad I'm not test riding bikes at the shop this year due to my medical maladies. Someone else asked about other bike fork problem. We're a Cannondale dealer as well and have been replacing some of their MTB Pepperoni forks as well. Not easy since they're 1 1/4 inch steerers. We typically use the headtube adapters for 1 1/8. Best, John "wheelson"
