I'm sure they're built well and I don't think the price is unreasonable, but the lack of functionality of the fork annoys me though. If it's going to be run brakeless then why not make the headtube longer so there's less sideways load on the headset bearings? Also, since it's not really designed for track racing, why not design it so that it could be run with a front caliper, rather than ruling it our completely?
I think the guy in NYC who wins lots of alleycats on one is going to put a cross fork on for the winter and use it to race cross.
