I got this fork to replace the bent one one my '78 Batavus starflite and heard these would fit.
This ciao fork fits great. I didn't have to modify the top of the fork, only move the bearing race from the stock fork on it. The tab that holds the brake plate needed to be made thinner so the wheel could be mounted but was quick work with a dremel and cutting bit. After that, the wheel fit back on with no modification other than flipping it over.
The fork has a bit of twist play or flex to it. I think a stabilizer would help a lot but I haven't gotten one yet.
All in all, it's a great improvement over the stock fork as it looks pretty good and handles well.
