Hi everyone,
While visiting the shop of mr. Zieleman in Amsterdam, I picked up a chromed
front fork, that was rather peculiar. The upper halves of the fork legs have
an octagonal shape, i.e. 8-sided. Presumably for stiffness. Is this a
Columbus (rare) specialty, or something done by the framebuilder? Haven't
been able to contact mr. Zieleman unfortunately, the son-in-law who is
running the shop now, doesn't know. The steer tube doesn't give any info
too, so my claim that it's Columbus, is because of the stickers (!) and the
fork-ends: Columbus, not Campy.
Interesting pictures anyway:
