I figured the fork was original mostly because the color of the plating on the fork crown and socks matches that on the head tube lugs (doesn't really look like "chrome" - maybe some yellowing clear coat?). That said, I have no proof it's original either.

I'll go back and measure the drop more carefully. I seem to recall making an approximate measurement without wheels on the frame when I last updated the Flickr album.

I have the condorino bars still if someone wants them (small upcharge ). I measured them on the bench the other day. Tip-to-tip they are 42cm, so fairly narrow. Given the slight back sweep I estimate the effective stem reach at about 9cm.
