I was just wondering if anyone knows the axle to crown distance on Serotta's 1" steel forks? (Every manufacturer seems to be different from 366mm to 372mm).

Since Reynolds uses 372mm I was thinking Serotta might use 372mm as well but I'm not certain since steel is a different beast than carbon.

I can't tell you the measurements, but I can tell you that a Reynolds Ouzo Pro is about 13mm longer axle-crown than my steel Legend CR. The height difference is mostly in the thickness of the Ouzo's carbon crown. The Reynolds fork put the CR in a noticable "heads up" position which I didn't like.

Is the fork lugged or unicrown?

I don't know if the question was aimed at me, but the Legend CR crown is lugged.

Dave knows....lugged crown forks were built at 365mm unless they were ordered as touring forks.

Brian's got my back....365 it is.
