I have an LI series 3 frame which has been cut to take gp leshields. Does anyone know how long the fork tube on the frame should be. I know the difference in length between the gp and LI but don't know if it has been cut right in the first place so I can return it back. Ta

Is the 410mm the frame tube length. Not including the lower frame cone and upper steering cone. Ta

Mine is not chrome ring. Don't think the frame is any different between the two, it's made up with different size headset bottom. So the 400mm should be the frame dimension hopefully
