And, yeah, I am already overthinking the steerer/headset problems as much as I did the shade of Celeste. I found an old Gitane frame on Craigslist locally that could provide a donor fork. The crown matches and it's white with the same chrome socks, but I'd need to do something to match the patina of the paint.
A little sandpaper, or in my case, a cluttered garage where I nearly cried when I banged my Mercian frame into Trixie Trek, the pristine powdercoated frame I got from Mad Honk. Nothing happened though. Patina made to order.
