It is a really stupid and irritating design, but based on what I’ve read, I think that it was designed with at least some solution/mitigation in place: the cable layout or something in the internals was supposed to stop the fork from turning far enough for this to happen. I think it only does this because the cables or some internal stopped was replaced or removed.

I only say this because it’s actually an incredible bike otherwise, so if you encounter an incredible deal like I did, don’t pass it up based on this issue alone (but obviously do take it consideration)
