Why did you swap the forks?

The forks were track forks so had to change them to fit a brake

Obviously.

Totally understand from the practical point of view, and far be it from me to criticise another man's steel, but they are as ugly as sin.

I am a little bit wet for your headset though...

Your not the first to comment on the bad choice of fork that cost £150 lol and not the first to call em ugly. I should have got a replacement Columbus fork though finding a period one is another thing.

Anyone out there keen on steel .......

Here is a Ron Cooper hand built frame (sadky with incorrect decals...)

A couple of photos of my glorious Olmo built with fluted tubing, apparently a prototype. It was originally built with Shimano kit but I've since stripped it and redone it with Campag Veloce throughout, as it deserves. It now has a pair of those lovely monoplanar brakes and is running a 7 speed setup with 8 speed Ergo shifters. This is to avoid having the rear triangle cold set to 130mm and a 7 speed Shimano cassette has the same spacing as an 8 speed Campag, so they can be used together. Only used on dry days round the lanes of Suffolk.

That is a handsome machine, the break mount is lovely. What a detail.

Steel surly!

After 20 odd years of riding mostly aluminium based bikes, I'm finally starting to appreciate and ride more steel. Had this one since summer last year and ride it off road on sunny days..............

And the Dave Yates was a recent e-bay accident - 853 including the rear end, nice Fox and XT straight through - fillet brazed to perfection! (excuse the toe clips and crap on the seatpost, borrowed from my commuter to get out on the trails before rain came)
