First I wrote: I bought a Colnago Super frameset as an "organ donor" for the Limongi. Before you get your shorts in a bunch about that, the Colnago's down tube is terribly kinked. I've already salvaged the
Campy headset and bottom bracket. But I mostly got it for the fork so
I can ride the track bike on the street with a front brake. It's a very nice fork with exactly the same dimensions, including rake, as the Super Vitus track fork that came with the Limongi. But I have a question about the fork. The little club thingies\u2014I think that's the
proper term\u2014on top of the fork crown are raised not engraved. Is that
standard? I don't remember seeing them, but I haven't paid much attention to Colnago fork crowns.
Now I'm adding: I just checked all 353 Colnago photos on Wool Jersey.
All of the forks shown that have the clubs on the fork crowns have engraved or "pantographed" clubs. Like I said, mine are raised. I guess when I strip the forks to refinish them, I'll be able to tell if they're braised on or part of the crown casting. Just for reference the trashed frame has one engraved club on the bottom head tube lug, on top of the down tube. What does it all mean.
Thanks again.
