(Thanks, Andy)
I think there are a number of us that have. Depends on what exactly you are after. I've done a bit of same-same and mix and matching--primarily with Shimano drivetrain and Campy cassette or vice-versa. @Dfrost has run his Sachs New Success (same as Campagnolo) with Shimano and Campagnolo 8-speed spaced cassettes with no issues. Shimano 9-speed shifting over a Campy 9-speed cassette is just fine. 10-speed to 10-speed is the same. Usually I'll try to keep everything homogeneous, but hey, Centeron pulleys exist, right?

An interesting 11-speed Colnago Master build, with custom engraving on the crankset:

Who is using a 1" threadless carbon fork* on their retro roadie? Anyone? Please post photos

The headset on it was junk so instead of trying to source a new one, I took the opportunity to run a Kinesis Carbon fork I've had laying around for some time and so I boxed the original fork, headset, stem and bars up for another day...

I'm using a 1" threadless carbon fork on what I think is a 1980 PFN10E with Vitus 172 tubing. My research showed that in the early 80's Peugeot was moving from French threading to English to standardize. My frame had the French headset, but the BB and the RD Hanger were English threaded.

(I know it's a Peugeot and that the fork probably wasn't actually bent, but it still looks that way.)

Excellent upgrade. It's obvious you know what works.

Campagnolo Ergo Record 11 Speed
So This was taken ages ago with my first bike; however, I had a set of Campagnolo Ergo Record 11 speed attached onto my old Schwinn World. lol I also had a full Dura-ace setup in the back. I was in the process of doing an upgrade to full campy drive train.

I will say that this is my second go to bike in my stable. The fork plays well off the geometry of this frame and is very responsive - the carbon fork and carbon bars combo make for a nice smooth ride also...
Thank you sir!! Can you talk to my wife and explain that to her?

I see the affinity for "H2O," heh heh....
Nice work.
That looks like the bridge at Newport, but not sure. Been years since I was there.

I'll dig some pictures out later but I've got a 90s Bontrager that I've run with a variety of forks (1 inch), a Time carbon jobbie but with steel steerer, a full steel Columbus fork, and a full carbon Columbus fork. Have also swapped those forks around on a 90s Trek and my 80s Woodrup too.
Basically, the carbon forks are lighter...but the steel fork is more comfy. That's not a generalisation and shouldn't be extrapolated to other forks, it's just my experience of those specific forks.
I prefer the ride of a decent steel fork, but I do use the carbon ones on lighter more racy builds. The fully carbon Columbus one is silly light ~340g !

I really did think it's just because it's a Peugeot. They almost always look bent to me, and I think I read somewhere that they came new with a slight backward angle on the blades.

But that bridge is Verrazano-Narrows bridge during the New York City century. The second one with the ducks is in Long Island, NY
