Nice looking steed
I thought the 1st generation c40 had steel precisa forks?

They were, with matching paintwork as well... These are the full carbon Star

if your's has crimped tt and down tubes it must be a mk2 c40, I have one, it has the star forks

 

[Breso]

For crimped you mean with the "star" shape? As long as I know mine was a limited edition for the Lampre Panaria Paris Roubaix and originally had the steel forks... Apparently better for the Classics... But then upgraded to the full carbon Star forks

Manufactured in 1996 tho...

thanks saarf, i cant make my mind up what forks ,like them both ! thanks breso my fav colour scheme reminds me a bit of metal flakes earidescent [sp?] is that a rolls buffalo titanium there ?

well Gentlemen, to be sure, the yellow frame here is a 1st generation c40, with steel forks (my old)
the black frame is a 2nd generation c40, with star forks, and crimped, masteresque down tube and top tube ( my current)

1st gen is a darn fine frame, sold mine because too big, nearly had a lampre one but the decor was a bit overpowering

i really like them the 2nd generation is even more eeri . I wonder what colour of equipment would work ? what i mean is silver or black or white ? or all three . im deffinately going to get one one day i read they offered them in something like 15 diff sizes.
