Abstract: A bicycle fork end fitment connector comprising a two- or three-layer lamination press-welded into a unitary part. A base plate is cold-formed from flat, uniform thickness mild steel plate stock and has a slot. One or two face plates are formed from flat, uniform thickness stainless steel sheet stock each having a slot matching the size and shape of the slot in the base plate. A plurality of small diameter convex protuberances are formed on one side of each face plate before assembly. The base and face plates are assembled in an electric press welder with the slots in registration, while current is applied to fuse them into a solid unit. In one embodiment, a single face plate is assembled on one side only of the base plate. In another embodiment, a pair of face plates are assembled on opposite sides of the base plate. The face plate or plates comprise a raised hub portion or portions, the opposite, outer surfaces of the connector being precisely flat and parallel.
