Teledyne Titan -- Fork Crack


I was working on putting this bike together previously.  Started with just a bare frame & fork.  I found about the right vintage used parts for it (mostly Shimano) and got pretty far along but got stopped at the rear derailleur (the used part I was trying to use wasn't working right.  Shimano Dura-Ace.  Don't know why yet...)


One major issue is this crack in the LH side fork.
Have no idea how to "fix" it.
I could put a patch over it (epoxy on a piece of titanium or carbon-fiber?)
May just replace the fork with an aluminum or carbon fiber fork...
