EDIT: (Pic 4) Now with a 3ttt Pro Crome quill-stem, got rid of the quill to ahead-set-adapter. :-)
EDIT: Finally decided to go for a nice quill-stem instead of a different fork. I found a sourse for Syncros-stems, so what do you say, black/polished, hinged/non-hinged? I guess black is badass, polished classy?
The idea was to build a race-worthy cyclocross-bike, using this stunning NOS Cascarsi-frame that I found on ebay. CASCARSI is the own brand of cycling shop 'De Meulenreek' in Geffen, NL. This batch of frames were build for the dutch national cyclocross-team, using tig-welded heat-treated Tange Prestige tubing, Tange's answer to Reynolds 753. The paint had a few chips, that i repaired.
I am pretty happy with the result. Upgrades I'm considering is: a seatpost with more setback, a carbon fork and propper ahead-set setup, as i'm no fan of the quill-to-aheadset-adaptor, and maybe later tubular wheels.
