That is possible sometimes, but they might not manage a perfect job and it
only takes a small amount of asymmetry to make the steering funny.
Quoted message said:if so, would it be worth
the cost when Fishers list a new chrome plated fork for £14.99 or a
cromo version for £29.99.
I would get new (or second-hand) forks.
Quoted message said:I assume that any new fork would have to be
fitted by a dealer or do forks come ready machined to take the crown
race?
The fork crown will probably be ok, but there can be complications with
steer tube length. Get the whole job done by LBS if in much doubt.
Quoted message said:Just typing the above makes me wonder if its worth repairing the
bike. What do you think?
A repair will be well worthwhile if reasonably happy with rest of bike.
