I actually quite like the 1" head tube. I think it's the main reason, along with the long, slim stem, that the front end feels so comfortable without being imprecise.Very nice, these machines deserve all the love you can throw at them. Only minor problem is the 1" headtube, but with OEM forks it's still OK. I got '94 black/white version, its 19" frame weighs about 1700 gr, so until featherlight Columbus tubing (which was soon to be killed on the market anyway due to stricter regs) it was world class for sure.
But you are right, finding a fork if you don't have the original one could be a bit of a challenge.
