  you're probably right - might be why Chas went for 953 as I wanted straight polished forks like on my Colnago Master

  Thanks - yeah - good spot -just to go with the Columbus main frame tubes - Chas said that a 953 fork would be better than Columbus equivalent tubing so went for that and it didn't come with a fork badge - had a spare pair of Columbus transfers so used them to finish - still not sure it needs them ? - but can't make my mind up !!

  update to what it looks like now with Vision carbon wheelset and changed to black bar tape and black Antares seat, new (flatter) white bars plus Time carbon bottle cages and gone back to Look pedals - think it looks much better

  Thanks - it always gets nice comments on Sportives - it's a shame my legs can't do it justice

  here is mine - I must have had one of the last frames Chas made - Columbus Spirit main tubes with Reynolds 953 forks - 6 degree drop on top tube - frame number 140904. Chris King headset, Campag super record and record 11 speed mix, Fizik stem and bars with Antares saddle and seatpost, Vision carbon (tubs) wheelset, Vittoria tyres - rides soooo nice I've relegated my carbon Genesis to my hack
