Dimitri: Measure your head tube length. The seller states that the steer tube is 6 1/2" long with 2" of threads. If I'm thinking correctly this early in the morning, your head tube would have to be in the neighborhood of 4 1/2" to be able to use this fork. Also, do you have a 1" or 1 1/8" head tube? This fork is 1".

If your frame is 1" and the head tube is short enough, you could use the fork. You can find the specific stack height of many 1" headsets, but in general they range from 35mm-41mm. This steerer tube is 165mm long. So if your head tube is 125mm or shorter, you should be safe with just about any headset.

You should contact Serotta about the axle to crown dimension and fork rake that complement your particular frame and see if this fork is appropriate.
