I picked up what appears to be a Fox Doodle Bug frame. I'm doing detective work trying to figure out if the front end is original, and how it works (the suspension mainly).
I think the P.O. Might have replaced/ modified the inner fork tube as they are what appears to be just 5/8" round stock. There are no holes or slots in them. So how are the lower tubes held on? There are no springs either, which should be fairly easy to replace?
But my main question is how are these things held on / how are they supposed to work?
I'm trying to decide if I should try to fix them, or just graft on new lowers and forget about the "suspension". The rest of the frame is fairly uncut...so I don't want to ruin it....but I'm also not looking for an original resto....I just want a driver. Any help would be appreciated!
