    Check out the T-2103 at the bottom. There are gaps in the fork where the
    crown is joined to the legs. How is this done? Is there an insert joining
    the two parts? I ask because my GT fork is like this.

    On my fork, though, there's another gap down right before the dropout. I'm
    guessing it's the same method.

  2. They are epoxy bonded... they (bike companies) have been doing this for
    a long time. it is also quite common in aerospace. It is most common in
    joints where only one component in the joint is forged or cast..(like
    the dropouts on the fork)
