Fischer Track — probably — there are a lot of similar-shaped crowns, like Davis (England) and Tange (Japan). Can be hard to tell.

Saba crown on my wife's 1990 road racer. One of the lightest crowns ever, then I machined it down some more. Fork weighs under 1 pound.

My own 1990 road racer. Crown started out as a Takahashi HNR (Hitachi-Nagasawa-Road), then I drilled it out and machined the top down making it a lot lighter, but still stronger than Laurie's Saba cuz I'm a big boy.

Grenzi circa '73. Note no brake nut in back — brake centerbolt is brazed to the front of the crown.
