You are breaking my heart. I'd like to believe I would have been swindled, and lost out on both the money and the frame if I had gone through with the purchase. As it is, I just lost out on the most gorgeous exactly-my-sizest SOMEC I ever had the chance to buy... Now I am looking at these piles of cash lying around, hoping I could put wheels on them. At least I can use the banknotes to dry my tears.
In all seriousness, SOMEC forks don't show up very often. And if your frame had been free, your forks would have seemed even more expensive in comparison. Don't fall for the sunk cost fallacy :)
There's a pair on the italian bay right now, I think. About a 100 GBP though :B
