growling.... heavy straight bladed cast iron fork no thanks
yeah under 7 shouldn't be a problem.. but that's with conti supersonic tires and tubes *doh*.. in-line will be swapped for a kcnc ti pro lite 100g lighter
brakes are precision pro shifts and paul love levers.. you can easily save 15 grams on them levers by changing bolts and run drilled chain ring bolts instead of them silver adjusters now mounted
can do some more pics sunday.. happy friday night between them sheets

I hear you can get carbon frames weighing 1300gm or less!
They probably don't ride as well as a cast iron Dekerf, but they look impressive on the scales!

thanks.. so do you wanna bet??
1300gram for a carbon frame is heavy.. saw the new scott scale came in at 899grams.. sigh.. that's pretty much half this lead-dekerf

For what it's worth I'd put a set of Salsa Cromoto forks on the front of that.
Tapered legs would look good with the slight taper to the stays.

Cromotos don't look right on a Dekerf. The crown is very wide to allow plenty of clearance for big fat tyres. The stays of a Dekerf have minimal clearance for anything bigger than a 2.1. The wide forks just don't look right; I've tried.
