To my eye I don't like straight bladed forks. I saw an otherwise nice Gunnar a few says ago with straight blades and I couldn't help but think that the bike had been aesthetically compromised as a result.
I also am not crazy about unicrown forks. My Trek 520 and my wife's Linus Mixte both have them and the aesthetic is "off" as a result. I've thought about replacing the fork on my wife's bike and would probably do the same with my Trek were it not for the fact I'll probably be selling it in the future since the frame is too small for me. Anyway...
