if i was building a utility bike with internal geared hub(or other such build were weight is less of an issue) i would seriously consider this if used was not an option
Thanks for the plug- I completely agree- although completely built there probably won't be a noticeable difference with .7lbs.

$139 includes frame & chromoly fork- we had carbon forks initially while our chromoly forks were in production. We have a couple that are mounted on frames left over if you want one- same price 1-866-995-9918
Here is the picture with chromoly fork:
