hi guys

been offered this
but after looking at the pics noticed the cap missing from the left fork
can these just be brought and put back on
or does it mean they are knackered

might sound a daft question but have no idea
and its 2 hrs away to fetch it

    It's just a dust cover. Available from most local bike shops, or put a plastic car valve cap on for now.

    The fork looks very sagged; could be due to having no air in, or they're goosed.

    I thought that to be honest
    looked at others on ebay etc and forks look higher

    said would do it for £250 as I got to get a cap for the forks
    seems to cheap

    The chain looks a bit rusty as well.

    If the forks aren't goosed, worth about that tops (probs nearer £220), if they are goosed, worth a lot less! (about £120-130)
