That blue is fantastic with the chrome stays, where did you find this frame? Ps. Zeus cranks are GREAT. Though, you need to be careful of cracking right up near the spider arms, at the base, kind of like nuovo record. Anyway, fuckin' A enjoy this rig, BEAUTIFUL!!!

Good point - AL fork will

Submitted by higdonjim on 11/13/2007.

Good point - AL fork will probably go! (Looking at steel to make it real, but carbon might be an option) My experience is steel forks are hard to find unless custom-made $$$$ - and the original fork with bike is a pure track fork which is too twitchy for my style of road riding.

AL fork

Submitted by All Filler on 11/17/2007.

ah, just meant that it looks like a fork that viscount(?) put out on some of their bikes that was notorious for separating at the crown (steer tube detatching) and well, you can imagine the hilarity that might ensue. sweet ride though!
try spicer? maybe http://www.bikemannetwork.com/biking/c/COMPFKRDREP

Yes, and I did get a laugh from the comment. Geez, I actually owned a Viscount road bike in the '70's and it had the AL fork. Will give Spicer a look.
