[CR]Re: Do you know this fork?

Tony,

Looks like a Medici Pro Strada fork to me. Most were fully chromed with a Haden crown, IIRC.

I recently bought an oldish chromed fork off the Serotta forum. It's got a Columbus stamp on the steerer tube, and Campy dropouts. The fork is 367 mm from the axle center to fork crown race face, and has a 36 mm offset. Neither I nor the seller know what bike the fork originally came from, and I was wondering if anyone on the list might have either a general or specific idea?

I'm planning to build a lugged and brazed Metax frame around the fork, and I'm not quite sure what head tube angle I want to use yet, so I thought I'd look at some bikes from the fork's original era to get a sense of what the builders in that time period used.

Here are a couple of pics of the fork:

Thanks for any help.
