Lower Lug to Fit Tapered Columbus and Tange Head Tube

Want to use a modern carbon fork in a lugged frame? Most carbon forks have tapered steerers and won’t work with a typical 36mm head tube. Columbus and Tange have both created an elegant tapered head tube, 46mm OD at the bottom and 36mm OD at the top, but until now a lower lug to fit hasn’t been available. Available in stainless steel and steel options, this lug solves the problem. It’s designed with enough extra surface to allow it to be shaped to match existing 36mm top lugs, or it can be used as-is with no carving. See the drawing for full dimensional specs.
