A fork is not a component; a fork does not have a barcode added. I’m pissing in the wind, because I’m definitely from a different generation, but very little can offend me more than seeing a well-made or handmade bike with a guy shoving a carbon fork in. To me that says “I don’t know how to make a fork.” If you don’t know how to make a fork, you shouldn’t be taking money for the frame.

Don't know about anyone else, but I really like the fact that Matt built my whole frameset, rather than just bolting someone else's ( however nice ) fork onto his frame.
