Thanks guys! She is indeed both a wall hanger and a rider

And finally a proper fork for my Litespeed. It only took four and a half year to find one. It popped up here at retrobike, the seller turned out to live only 25 km away from here, I still cannot believe it. Any way, the seller went above and beyond by matting the fork for me, it was originally a lot more shiny. Amazing job and many many thanks!

I did a quick fit but need to shorten the steerer, add a bit more thread and apply the right decals on them. This project is nearly done!

What a beautiful marriage: looks like a match made in heaven
Curious to see what that will look like with those lovely screaming decals..

Oow, and please update your signature (or do you need another one?)

Don't suppose you still have that top pull Campag front mech do you ?

Good call, need to update that. Yeah, I wonder how those massive decals will look like, I really fancy the classic Litespeed look, just as it is in the brochure.

Campy Record O.R. is beyond gorgeous! Let me have a look at that front mech.

Across my path I found a complete '94 (I think) Campagnolo Record O.R. (I think) gruppo. And I can't resist to fit this, instead of the XC Pro kit I have ready waiting....

Maybe someone can verify what year and type this Campy gruppo is? I think the balljoints on the brakes are giveaways for a later version of Record O.R. The Hubs have grease nipples. Cranks have the hidden fifth arm. However the quick release endcaps are steel and not aluminium...

The front mech I am talking about is the one in this picture I was wondering if you still had it knocking around ?
