Following up on some tandem headset details, I have two tandem forks, one for 650B (red painted) and one for 27" (chrome), both French threaded (28x1). The steerer tube dimensions are 28.05 OD, 22.0 ID. Interesting thing is that they are hand labeled, one marked "French thread 28x100", and one marked "1-1/8" with no thread info. Not sure who built these, but they use a twin plate-type crown, the lower plate having fender mounting tabs protruding front and back of the lower plate. The red 650B fork has Campag drop-outs with single eyelets. The chrome 27" fork has unmarked Campag-looking forged drop-outs with double eyelets. Other than that, they appear to be produced by the same maker. I can take some pix if there is interest.
