Well blimey! Sorry to hear about your fork issue. Mine seems to be fine although I've had a closer eye on it since your first post about your problems. I'm surprised to learn about the weight too - I could've sworn the listing on Wiggle said carbon/alu! I'm tempted to swap out for something as a preventative/lightening measure now.
Mine seems to be problem-free right now. There's a bloody annoying click coming from somewhere - but after swapping the BB out, it appears to be the pedals (don't get Genetic Track pedals).
Good luck on your France trip! Keep us posted!

Congrats on your purchase John! It is indeed a great bike. I got a replacement bike sent out but it had exactly the same fork issue as the first one! I've been give a voucher to cover it as it was just a cosmetic finishing issue. I have ordered a new PX fork anyway. I took the Eastway one out, turns out it is 100% Alu and weighs 712g!
I am waiting on a few bits but hopefully will be taking the bike across France in 3 weeks, roughly following the line of the Western Front from the Swiss/French border up to the Channel. Can't wait! Just hope the bike is ready in time!
PS. Since my fork issue has come up, the Esaki has been taken off the website so we might have a very rare bike now!
Happy pedalling...
