Have you ridden a ti fork or is this speculation?

Yeah, a builder has to do the R & D, secure suppliers of tapered ti extrusions, then have to sell the idea of spending more money than just spec some off the shelf CF fork. The fork I dream of is ti, a little stiffer, much stronger and confidence inspiring, but with the same dreamy ride the old Lamberts had. I know that ride well, having spent many hours on that aluminum fork. I will never be on aluminum again, but that ride? I'd pay half a grand for it. It's that good.
