Summary: I bought this fork off ebay for 80.00. It was hardly used. The fork looks great and it is very light. So light that it scares me I'm still not totally comfortable with a carbon tube but has worked great so far.
The quality of the fork is very good. I agree that that the decals are kind of "bold" something a little more less flashy would be nice.
Over all great product
Strengths: Looks, and weight
Weaknesses: Decals too bold

Bike Setup: Look KG286, DA and whatever else is lying around. Wheels switch between rolfs and open pro setup.
Summary: I really like the ride of this fork. Very supple although it doesnt seem overly flexy to me (165lbs.) it seems to handle well. I went from a 43mm offset to 45mm. If you are planning on upgrading the fork for your bike I would definitely recommend this one at supergo. They might still have a few. Only drawback is the 1" steerer. Oh did I mention it is extremely light? 350 grams is not a lot. Allmost scary when you think about what it is doing.
Strengths: Light, compliant, the best at this price.
Weaknesses: Mabee 1 1/8 would be nicer but then it wouldnt be on closeout for 180 bucks either, right?
Similar Products Used: Look LDS aluminum crowned and cro-mo steerer. It was heavy and aero. Bianchi full carbon, supprisingly light, mabee even lighter than the look. Not as nice a ride though.

Summary: Thought it would be flexy due to its light weight, but can not tell a difference. Feels compliant. Great fork. Took off 3/4 of a pound off bike.
Strengths: very light. In fact, it feels too light to be a fork.
Weaknesses: None
Similar Products Used: None

Bike Setup: Diamondback Ti frame, dura ace, King headset, salsa stem, cinelli bars
Summary: Excellent. A laterally stiffer fork, same or lower weight (strong with lifetime guarantee) for $250 would be 5+ stars! I have been very happy with this fork. The HSC2 would be a better choice for the fashion conscious with it's straight blades. I'm not sure that fork is stiffer though. The HSC3 (aero profile) is now available too though I have not yet heard anything about it. Buy it if you like light comfort. Forget it if you are a 200+ lb heavy sprinter.
Strengths: light, vertically compliant
Weaknesses: could be stiffer laterally, pricey
