ok....it pisses me off so bad, i ve been looking for a straight blade unpainted vintage forks for so long arrghhhh

ok guys, thanks for the advice i appreciate. I sent an email to the seller and he said that he was told it just needed to 'rack and paint'. Not sure what 'rack' stands for (english is not my first language).
He told me that I can return it but he suggested that I bring it to a bike shop for repair and he ll pay me the repair. Maybe tomorrow I'll pop by my trusted bike mechanic and ask him.
Thanks anyway

https://ibb.co/1mK286qI bought this Rossin fork on eBay..might have screwed up this time.
You guys reckon is this safe to ride? it seems they gave up the job of welding it properly and sanding it?
Aesthetically i don't care, it s for a super ratty fixed gear. I just wonder if this is actually safe.
Thanks a lot

haha actually I never asked myself why they would be always rubbing stuff down , it makes sense now..
I'm slightly concerned that the oil and rug system would work at the beginning, but with time I'd be afraid of water going through the steering tube where I won't be able to see what s really going on.
Also I was reading somewhere else that the clearcoat would eventually wear off and leave a yellowish tone? I was reading this on an old post on another forum, not sure -
yeah but my question is, how do you stop it from becoming rust aka an issue? Will this become an issue eventually right?

actually I found this
maybe this will do?

Hi guys,
I was looking at this pic
and I'm actually about to buy a vintage unpainted fork that has got a bit of patina to it. I'd like to preserve it as it, without painting it.
How can I achieve this?
thanks a lot
Yes it is that seller. I made an offer for it, and got it for quite cheaper that the price it was originally.
thanks for the info.
Tomorrow just for the sake of it, I'm going to try to see a frame builder (I'm in Italy). but at this point I don't have much hopes and most likely I'll be returning them
