Steel road fork for a Litespeed

This 1" treaded steerer steel fork is going in an older Litespeed owned by a former team rider in St. Louis, Mo. I guess he really likes the frame but the fork on it must be pretty tired. I had fun building this one as this style of crown has really good blade and steerer fitting. A lot of crowns are pretty off on the tolerances and demand a bunch of extra blacksmithing to get everything to fit properly. That was not the case this time.
