OP crazycalabrese Banned 1961 VBB1T and now a 2009 MP3 400ie Joined: UTC Posts: 474 Location: City of the damp Emerald	UTC quote Short of major surgery, is it possible (or worthwhile) to graft a fork from a later model ET4 onto a vintage large frame? Found the below locally and it features a disc brake. Don't know anything more than this at the moment and won't bother the seller unless I can determine if this conversion is viable. Thanks

The Et4 doesn't dive as much and is a little beefier.
