CELO track fork ~ Anyone Know Jack About It?

Hey! I have a chrome "Celo" track fork on my Medici track frame.

Is this an aftermarket fork? Anyone have dirt on this puppy?

Here's a pic. And yes, I eat lots of oranges. What's leftover I sell on the off ramp.

celo europa was the house brand for a shop in southern california in the late 70's/80's.

they were made by colnago and imported to the states.

Too many!

I'm kinda liquidated some of the stock. I sold a bunch last week and maybe some more this week, which I'm interested in learning more about the fork. Thanks for all your help!

There was this Surly Long Hauler on eBay. I wanted to buy it & travel the country. If only I had the cash.

I always day dreaming of riding in upper Washington last August. It was a dream. My ass hurt. But still dreamy.

My brother thinks a Steamroller is a good touring frame. He took his with a 20 litre messenger style bag made in England on a two week trip through Italy.

That's how I tried to ride from Vancouver to SF. But I rode on a Merlin. A nice, nice Merlin. It didn't work. You need racks & paniers (sp?) and proper gear.
