Columbine

Columbine ??? One from the early 70's.

Columbine Cycle Works

Davis sloping fork crown used on a lot of frames and bikes in the UK including Raleighs.



The castings were really cobby and required a lot of work to clean up.



I used them because I liked the graceful appearance better than Chinelli style crowns. It took me several hours to rework this one to thin it down. This is my off road treking bike.



Classic Cinelli sloping fork crowns.
