I’m not too familiar with bicycles. I bought this at a garage sale for $40. Anybody know the history of it?

Some nice components but that fork is fucked.
Can you show me where that it is? I’m not familiar with any of the components.
Bonded aluminum, it’s glued together. They’re soft and flexible and known for coming unglued. Looks like that one has been in a front end collision unfortunately.
Replacement fork time (at least). Sorry dude.
You should part this out. Clean the frame and mount it on your wall. Clean and sell all the Dura-ace. Trash the fork.
Great score on those parts for forty bucks (careful of the stuff that might have been impacted by whatever collision caused that, tho)
IMO one of the best looking groupsets ever made, this is the perfect starting point if you find a frame+fork with an English (most likely) bottom bracket and you’re handy. Does the front wheel wobble a lot when you spin it?
