I honestly notice a big difference between OTP steel fork and custom fork, the latter felt much more comfortable, even the disc brakes version.

But I guess one of the other problems is you're going to be paying at least £200 for a custom steel fork, right?

I know Some carbon foks are pricey but £200 will usually get you a decent, light, stiff and comfortable fork.

I can see the point in a steal fork on something like your Elephant where your odds of finding a carbon disc fork with braze ons in the right geo are slim to none. But otherwise steal forks often seem to be more abot aesthetics.
