ABSTRACT:
A front fork for a bicycle includes a cylindrical fork tube adapted to mount to the bicycle frame and support the handlebars, and a pair of spaced fork legs connected to the fork tube which straddle the front bicycle wheel and mount to its axle. Each fork leg comprises an upper section of substantially circular cross section welded at one end to the fork tube and integrally connected at the other end to the upper end of an elongated lower section. The elongated lower section of each fork leg is formed with a longitudinally extending crease formed by bending a portion of the outer wall of the fork leg radially inwardly in a U-shape toward its hollow center. The depth of the crease increases from the upper end to the lower end of the elongated lower section so that the fork legs taper inwardly from top to bottom for mounting to the front wheel axle.
