Price Paid:  $0.00 at Bike Doctor, Indiana

Favorite Ride:
Cypress Bowl

Bike Setup:
Airborne Valkyrie with mix of Ultegra and 105 triple. Ultegra/Open Pro, Ritchey WCS bars and stem, K

Summary:
I'm very pleased with the performance of this fork.

Appearance is far less important, but the decals on mine are smaller and far more attractive than on samples I've seen on the web.

Strengths:
Light, stiff, reduces road vibration. It doesn't feel any more flexible than the cro-mo fork on my other road bike.

1-1/8" Al steerer tube is stiffer than I expected, even using 50 mm of spacers, as I do.

Weaknesses:
None so far.

Similar Products Used:
Kestrel EMS (with 1" cro-mo steerer tube), and a collection of cro-mo forks which were original equipment on various bikes.
