I agree, but that's not why I bought my new fork from them. They just happened to make the only reasonably-priced solution from a known manufacturer.
I probably could have spent $20 on some no-name thing from China, but I'm not that chincy or trusting of random, no-name bike parts that could kill me when they fail.
Anyway, I really like this 1x1 fork. For now, I'm running the cantis that came with this bike originally (1994 Kona Fire Mountain), but I'm going disc in front when I get around to it. I'm really happy that made a fork that gave me the option.
