Lolo-
Oh I see, I thought it looked like the one on the previous page. I am sure with more, thinner plates, wider-spaced legs, forward extension instead of angled legs, removing some parts of the extended steerer tube, etc. it could be made more compliant. But that's just even more work for the unfortunate builder who ends up building this.

If a person wanted a compliant steel fork with straight legs would twin plate (with thin plates for vertical flex) not be the way to go? Working on the same principle as a Lauf fork or leaf suspension or whatever. Stiff in the coplanar directions and flexy normal to the plates.
