Double check the weight, and weigh the thing when you get it. The fork they sent me doesn't even seem to have any carbon fiber in it, it's all aluminum as far as I can tell, and it weighs a $&%-ing TON.
When I was shopping for 1" threaded forks, I also saw a Ritchey fork for $199, which I thought at the time was too much. If I had it to do over, I would have gladly paid that for a decent fork instead of that non-carbon fiber Nashbar POS.

Ride is nice with the Nashbar compared to the original it replaced on my Schwinn Traveller, which seemed very stiff and transmitted a lot of road buzz.
