About the fork: It is supposed to be a replica of the Cannondale Track frame, which had a weird looking little steel fork on it.

I agree a CF fork would look better b/c, to be honest, this frame just isn't going to replace the C-Dale track anyways. Looking at pics of it, I think that w/o that beautiful blue paint job this bike isn't anywhere near as pretty as those old Tracks were.

Since they aren't going to be able to completely replicate that frame, they might as well make it better by putting a CF fork on it. I do like hte non-integrated headset, though. Would look cool w/ a threaded headset maybe, especially if it's going to keep that steel fork. If it had CF fork, threadless would look better.

The tubing joints don't look as "bubbly" as they did on the old C-dale Tracks, which is disappointing.
