Hi All,
Not a retro question, but there seems to be an inflow of rigid China-made ti forks for sale, with custom design options.
E.g. here:
Has anyone tried these or can think of any reason not to get one?
Not a huge amount of weight saving compared to steel, but should still be more reliable than a cf fork? And probably cost less than a custom steel job, no need for painting, no rust, etc.
Just interested in your thoughts as at first sight this seems to be a good option for, say, a straight-steerer canti fork to fit a retro frame.
