I don't know... I'd almost double that $700 retail price for a carbon fork, and more than triple it for full carbon. Way above my pay grade, but at those prices you know it will be done right. Light, strong, and with the ride qualities you expect of carbon. Still on the fragile side and IMO not suitable for any except competitive purposes. I don't expect that to change for quite awhile.
