Yea the reason i traded the 3.0 was it was way too small for me and i just didnt like the color. But with this one its the perfect size and it has more style to it. Im probably going to keep it for a while

I'm pretty sure that fork isn't carbon fiber.

Dude, even in that ****ass pic you posted, I can see welds down near the derpouts. It's an aluminum fork.

The Amazon link I posted on the previous page shows the exact same fork and says it is made of '6061 Alloy'.

Could just be the super glue attaching the plastic to steel?

Just ride it until something cracks, and then transfer the parts to a better frame.

You can? I haven't seen track Visps on ebay for a while. At the moment I can only find the carbon road frame. I wouldn't really want a visp myself, so I haven't give it all that much effort either.

Dayumn. I actually went back to check your links before posting (because I'd noticed visps are not on ebay anymore) but somehow missed that, I only noticed the pedal room & boutique cycles ones.
