    ^^ thats igle .. Triton said they can make the same using Paragon tapered steerer.

    I have quotes from igle and winter, they seem reasonable and same price as Spork.

  • A lot of reputable framebuilders outsource their forks to him, quality and design must be the very best. I also wonder if the top "segments" bring some compliance to balance off the thick straight legs.
    I'd be interested in @coldharbour explaining his MG fork in more details.

  • if I ask him to make the MG fork in flat mount and all that, he might give up bicycle business and hole up in Himalayas

    It's me.

  • Mg fork is a homage to my BMW gangsta of many years ago. It has no compliance in and of itself, but with higher volume road tyres it is a comfortable ride. (@Ecobeard can attest). This goes to show the benefits of tyre choice, not my frame building prowess.

    It weighs a tonne, it takes a horrendous amount of time to make, but...

    1. All the internal routing/bosses etc that you could need.
    2. Son wireless dynamo connectors are possible.
    3. Looks banging (obvs imo).

    For almost all applications there is a carbon fork that will work, the only time this isn't true is dynamos. We were going to make our own carbon fork, but the move stole all. Our money...
