great, If shaft turns out long enuff I will let powder coat it like the frame, hoping it is a common RAL color The silver fork is aluminium and has no affiliation to serotta, I got a set of Serotta replica decals. I just used to make it rideable.

Yes, the first fork in the photos above is the original TG fork. You may not like the way it looks, but it rides just fine...

I will try to find out if there is a color match possible, when RAL color was used, it should, and let the fork powder coat. if not matching color possible cause it's no ral color... I will give it a loud orange... like the dutch racing colors, ultramarin+orange. when too short for the headset, I'll keep the silver fork for riding, and if I ever sell I sell it with the unicrown. and when my 30 days are done, there will be a F1 Serotta fork and a pantographed 120 mm 3ttt stem stem available Is that fork really a carbon fork? How to find out really? The F1 fork I can find is not 1" threaded so...

This fork looks like it might be steel. There's a vent hole near the tip that wouldn't be there on an F1. Try a magnet on the legs and crown.

I think the fork is a Kinesis aluminum with a steel steerer.

another Question came up...
I saw a blue Colorado TG in an ad in germany. Good, because it had nice pics... so i saved them for later to place the ev. new decals correct... I saw that it had a Tange Prestige tubeset sticker. Point is, i can nowhere find a Serotta-Tange Prestige sticker like that. not at the typical decal supplier and not in the net. Where all TG Tange Prestige or are there TG out of different tubesets?

Pretty sure the TG was always Tange, as was the lugged Colorado LT. I haven't seen the decal anywhere but if you can get good pics of one you might get one made. I would probably use one of the Colorado decals that doesn't say Reynolds or Columbus, like this one:

on the sticker, sticking on the TG, is written LT
