With alu frontfork?

Evidence to support that assertion?

I have looked at the pictures and i think it is a alu fork.

The joint between crown and legs is clearly visible..

I have looked at the pictures and i think it is a alu fork.

So Simplex, are the forks; steel or alu?

Sorry guys i missed this question. As far as i know this fork is steel. Indeed it looks like a alu type you also find in Vitus frames. This fork is chromed.

Unfortunately i must say this bike is sold already for months. I forgot to mention in the ad.

Hahaha.....nice one Simplex!
