Never heard of that, though it is an aluminum fork. The decal says aluminum Kinesis 6061, whatever that means. Well, I know that 6061 refers to the particular alloy.

Oh cool. I need a couple of those for my Viscount which still has the aluminum fork. I'm still alive so far.

Right, and I have the 2nd or 3rd, so I'm not afraid. I don't ride the Viscount much anyway. I converted it to fixed gear and keep it at the office for lunchtime quickie rides.

Ah, well, probably not but this being New England I do need that wicked big FW which the RD was intended to accommodate. The bike is fine but the engine has seen a few too many oil changes.

Yours and mine could be the same frame, just built up differently, and...
...those perplexing decals. Mine sez Grand Sports, yours sez Gran Sport.
Anybody have a story on that?

Neither of the plumbers I know keep their shops even half that neat! Where are the stains on the floor from the thread-cutting oil? Where are the miscellaneous short lengths of iron pipe waiting in a pile for that future job that just might need them?

@obrentharris - The stains are around. That was the least "busy" background I could find. We have shelves with all sorts of pipes, fittings, water heaters, toilets, scrap metal from jobs we do. We put like metals in buckets then take to a metal recycler who buys it by the pound. It's actually a small plumbing company - 2 plumbers, 1 plumbers Apprentice and 1 very experienced assistant. I work the office and the shop. We have all sorts of "we may need this" stuff around.

my understanding is, that it was Raleigh's way of cutting cost by reducing the amount of paint used. I could be wrong tho

Beautiful bike Mr. Jim. Would you be so kind as to tell me what type of pump that is on your Masi and what type of support ( bracket ? not sure of the correct term ) you are using at the bottom to keep it in place ? My GC is a big one
60cm stamp so 58cm. I am going to ride tubulars on my bike.

First, thanks! That Tommasini has turned out to be a great ride.
The pump is a Topeak Road Masterblaster, a rather ridiculous name IMHO but a great pump. It comes in various lengths and does not require a mounting bracket.

In 2014 and 2015 I commuted on my PX-10. I can find it on Google Maps Street View. Hard to see, but it's the white one in front with the front wheel removed.

One of two commuters, but I keep forgetting to take a pic of the 88 Cannondale Criterium I take on days when there is no chance of rain. We cyclists are able to park in the loading dock, quite secure and convenient.
