cut them in half just to make sure your not tempted to bodge them!

can you not replace just the stanchions rather than full forks?

[Fisty]

Some good used forks from a breakers or eBay will be your best fix. Those are toasted.

looking at the brake disc derbi? where are you?

[yen_powell]

Fit fork gaiters and wipe the oil off before going into the testing station.

This has to be a troll post, right? That's the worst I've ever seen a fork, and in fact a disc centre and a front wheel come to that.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Those forks are beyond economical repair. Get a better set on eBay.

By the way... This is pitting:

This might be fixable by using epoxy (not eproxy!) but what you have is different. The chrome is peeling off of the steel underneath. The technical term for this is "completely cvnted" (excuse the hetzerism).

Wait wait....

Is that a Derbi Senda by any chance? I happen to have a Senda front end in one of my garages... (I'm guessing not as it has a cast not spoked wheel).

Looks like GPR 50/125 going by disk and caliper.

I have a set of forks spare too hense the asking

[Hugh Farking Cant]

They are Derbi GPR 125.
See his earlier post.
(He did not say they were as bad as that though;the little cvnt)

[P.]

SQL has spare forks, buy them, they work.

[deadwolf]

Now that's bad AIDS

As mentioned earlier fork gaiters will be a quick fix. MOT testers still aren't allowed to lift em, right?

Oh dear! Did you buy this bike from Captain Nemo after he had commuted across the seabed on it?

They are fucked beyond repair, get some decent replacements.
