These are Alpina Wing Pista forks:

It's a solid fork... and there aren't that many people making track forks anymore. I was trying to find an aftermarket track fork a few years ago, and the only real option was from Dolan.

Was 5cm (in those older photos), now it's around 7cm.
The seat tube angle is an aggressive 76 degrees. That's why I have to jam the saddle all the way back and use a set-back post to get it far enough back. Also, would you mind telling me how you fixed my photo post? Thanks. |

I would think about using a shim. Does the post slip in and out of the frame freely?

Just had the call from Dolan, it's ready! :D
Can't pick it up until Wednesday next week though due to work :( |
My two bikes reposted.

Not quite done yet but getting there, just posting it up to get me motivated for this up coming race season. |
Got it! Just been to Dolan and picked it up. Soooo pleased. Will probably need to put a flipped 130 stem on but we'll see. It's got a 49t Sugino SG chainring on at the moment it picked up a 50 zen one while I was there.

I've not ridden it on the track yet, just a quick bimble outside the Dolan warehouse. I have had the fork drilled to see if I can use it as a fixed time trial bike. I'll try and get to the velodrome sometime next week.

Love the look of the DF4, especially that one! I wanted one but was more than twice the price of the Forza!

Its in trainer set up, hence the weird saddle possition and road bars. |
Finally started putting this together so I thought I'd share. I've got rings, cogs, chain, and bartape. I just need to get some pedals and a wheelset. I'm ready to get this finished.

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/e...psfe2df03a.jpg Let us know if you need suggestions for pedals and wheelsets. I'd definitely get something that is threaded on both sides for cogs (commonly called "fixed/fixed") which will make gear changes easy between warmup and training/racing. |
