Wow, this looks great.
I thought initially this is like brand new, even with stickers still at the skewers (nice Ritchey by the way).
Just the fork has already a one-piece-casting and without canti stop but with Tektro Powerhanger or similar.
Those have been introduced in 1997. It looks like an Indy, right?
With that it's not a genuine Schwalbe model from 1995, but changed later?
Color-wise I personally would have just used a white fork, but golden with white "B" decals seem to be used even for team bikes earlier, according to this website

ah, sorry, don't want to put this into question, just my own first impression caused by the labels at the skewers, that the entire bike is like brand new from 1995 and never used, just put to the side for almost 30 years...The frame is a real lightning team schwalbe i buy from Germamy, got the color code from Joe
Just out of curiosity, did the bike came with the original rigid fork when you bought it?
