You're right, the original forks would have had curved fork blades, unicrown and with Celeste at the top. A bit too short in the steerer dept, there's little thread holding on the top nut of the headset. Have a 6400 on the way. Lower top stack than the Dura Ace cartridge one pictured. Thanks for the compliment.
It's great to ride, now I've bent the gear hanger back straight, using a spare axle, old seatpost and a blowtorch.
Mech was touching spokes in first gear before, now it's not! Champion!
Thanks for your kind words everybody, I took it up t'Rosedale Chimney in Yorkshire last month. One in bloody three!
Mike

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
