Bikes: 1986 Alan Record Carbonio, 1985 Vitus Plus Carbone 7, 1984 Peugeot PSV, 1972 Line Seeker, 1986(est.) Medici Aerodynamic (Project), 1985(est.) Peugeot PY10FC

Wow, that bike is super minimized! Do you have tubs on it? If not, why not go the whole way?
Quite surprised when I was building my Alan Carbonio earlier this year and decided to compare my spare Vitus 979 fork to the one from the Carbonio and I did not know what to think when I found out it was aluminum....which explains why the 979 fork felt heavier in my hand. Just never saw such on any of the bikes I owned or worked on. So far, it's holding up but should I buy a spare Alan fork too then?? Maybe I shouldn't bother as it will most likely asplode like a death fork and kill me anyway....
Curious now, do aluminum bikes from Cannondale, Trek, Schwinn...etc... have steel steerer tubes on their aluminum forks too?
