These photos were taken in April 2011. The photos posted earlier were taken in December 2011. Same clip-ons, same forks? meaning that this bike may have been dismantled? surely not?? Anyhow, that means there is possibly 3 sets unless the two below are the same set  Could there yet be another set of GCB forks in existence?

The GCB fork was invented by Enrico Ceriani & Marco Ceriani. Enrico is the son of the founder of Ceriani forks. Marco maybe Enrico's son, but I don't know for sure. The Ceriani brand name is now owned by Paoli. Here is the link to the patent for these forks: http://www.google.com/patents/EP0245221 ...

A bit of Cherry-Ahni history... by David Dunfey Arturo Ceriani (pronounced ‘cherry ahni’) was said to be an employee of MV Augusta who was asked to leave in 1951 so that he could supply MV with suspension parts and magnesium wheel hubs. In 1964 Arturo’s son Enrico took charge of the company and built a new plant in Samarate, Italy. While the company was known to the end users as ‘Ceriani,’ within the suspension industry the company was known as ‘ARCES.’ This name came from ARturo CEriani of Samarate. This is why the early original Ceriani triple trees have the word ‘ARCES’ cast in on the underside of the lower triple. By 1972 Ceriani had sold 100,000 suspension units, but the demand outstripped their production capacity allowing competitors to poach their market and by 1980 the Ceriani plant closed. In 1981 Enrico sold the remaining assets to Forcelle Italia which produced the 38, 40 and 42mm Ceriani fork under license. Forcelle Italia went out of business around 1995. The name stayed for sale until 1997 when it was purchased by Paioli. Meanwhile, Enrico in 1987 formed a partnership called G.C.B. Special Forks (Gazzaniga, Ceriani and Bianchi) which lasted for a decade. During this time you could buy a 35mm road racing fork made by G.C.B. In 1989 Enrico, with Steve Storz in the U.S. revived the Ceriani name. Paioli probably did not have the name under trademark in the U.S. because the U.S. trademark law is based on ‘use’ as opposed to ‘registration.’ Steve, who was a mechanic and tuner for Kenny Roberts, Don Castro and the Harley Davidson XR750 flat track racing team became familiar with the forks when the 42mm flat track fork was introduced in 1984. The first U.S. made Storz/Ceriani fork was introduced in 1998. Compared to Ceriani, the Campagnolo history is straight forward. Tullio Campagnolo founded the company in 1933 and was responsible for the advancement of many bicycle components. In the 1950’s they began producing magnesium wheels for Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati. It is said that Campagnolo produced the first disc brake setup for a two wheeled vehicle, the 1963 Lambretta motor scooter manufactured by Innocenti.

very interesting. I wonder if these forks and disc brake set up were similar to the type first used by Tarquinio Provini on the four cylinder 250 Benelli in 64/65,and later on the MV racers. All from Italy. Now universal. |

Any lawyers out there? Thanks to a certain cranky guy's generosity, I have one spare red bar end, and I'm not sure what the law is regarding their usage - say on an old BMW? Anonymous
