As I have frequently been called nuts I will be happy to take and dispose of any pogliaghi chrome Steel forks which will probably fail and send me over my ava stem headlong into disaster. Does anyone know which will fail first the death stem or the steel fork. I already rode on a Lambert death fork for 2 or 3 years before someone warned me I was about to die. since we are on the death bike subject again, I would offer up that we not use any freewheels or rear derailleurs but build the bike with a Track frame and proper track gear (ok mafacs up front) I've seen those pics of pieces of fingers laying about . . .
