I just saw this. Looks really good though I would have preferred the legs to be butted chromoly though.

Gatorblade 2!

Hmm..
Not even a nod and a wink to the classic style. It would be nice to have seen some reference or appreciation of the old Gatorblade.
It's just an Exotic fork (or worse) + some vinyl cut stickers.
While we all appreciate that times and specifications have moved on, they've not even vaguely tried to build on the original design.
These are just easy rebadge efforts riding on the coat-tails of a brand's heritage and reputation. (See also Fat Chance and GT Zaskar reboots). At least Ritchey had a good stab at a real revamped 650B P-21.
Separated at birth, I think.
All the best,
Dumps it in the bin, more like. :roll:
