Emanuel asked:
Can anyone identify for me the fork crown (and lugs?) used on this stylish frame?

I sez: First off, it's a beautiful bike and my size! Glad I missed out...
Dale correctly identified the fork crown as Rivendell. The lugs are also first generation Rivendell. They were used on the All-Rounder (a semi-mtb with OS tubing) and I had them on a Rivendell Road bike. I felt they were much more elegant than the "fancy" lugs and obviously Marc Mueller agreed. In fact, the seat cluster is identical to my old frame as well.
