Reasonable bike setups are not allowed.
I just think that fork is ugly.

The fork is pretty cool. It's a "Time Stiletto", the steerer is steel, the crown is aluminum, and blades are carbon, which are injected with Vectran. The Vectran is a polymer, which aids in strengthening the fork. It's the same stuff they use in the current space suits at NASA for strength and water proofing. Mine is currently sitting on eBay, hoping for the best.

I like them. They are definitely heavy (plus I have the PT model). You notice it somewhat when accelerating from a dead stop, but once you get up around 25mph they are nice and fast. For the price, I don't think they can be beat.
