Are you willing to pony up the cash to have a custom made fork made out of light,
resilient, but expensive, Steel parts?

then you and a custom framebuilder of your choice can begin your discussion..



Most of the Business is in Price Conscious bikes , but they want the latest stuff..

so the companies contract out to Asian companies the make the parts in volume .
maybe 1 in a 1000has a defect, so then the recalls take back the other 999
to be on the liability safe side.
