I have a Wound Up on two of my bikes. Habanero Ti Team Pro and my converted Slingshot. Absolutely love teh ride of the fork and the performance. The Slingshot has a steel steerer while the Habby has the carbon. As Jose R points out, they are not the lightest of the bunch, but they are real close. The Alpha Q requires a sleeve insert in the carbon steerer which brings the weight up by about 50 grams, while the Wound Up does not require that same insert.

I love the looks of the Wound Up and the Alpha Q, but my nod goes to the Wound Up in the looks department due to the polished crown and cammo carbon legs.
