Aaron:

Is that a steel fork or a carbon fork on the Titanio?

Thanks,

exciting stuff about potential opportunities abroad, study related. Can't take any bikes with me and I need to save some dough for tickets :).

Plenty of time for bikes later ;) That sounds wonderful; one of my regrets was not taking better advantage of travel opportunities when I had the chance.

The fork is stock - Columbus Genius (steel). I strongly suspect that this one was a Team Gewiss bike, as suggested by the one bottle braze on, and that these weren't readily available in 94' (the first year of production). This is one of the few done by Ugo and not his son.

Connaisseur IS an accepted variation in most English dictionaries (We should all avoid "learning" from spell-checkers).
