I also have one and like it, but the problem is I need a longer steerer and they don't make them anymore. Does anyone know where to get a one with an uncut steerer?

Not being snarky, just curious.
More concerned about breaking the dropouts off at the fork ends with my hub brake. Plus I want the silver/chrome look.
If steel forks were only a few grams lighter than I'd go with one of them, but unless the Soma forks are particularly light then they all seem to be several hundred grams heavier than an equivalent aluminum fork, especially with the long steerer I require.

How can painting something black solve the fact that it's black? It doesn't.
