odd fork

I think this is kind of cool looking and it has no rake! Anyone know where I can find one like it?

The fork has a rake just straight blades. You might try emailing the guy who posted it. I don't recognize it.

It's a Wound Up carbon.

They are not the cheapest forks in the world but boy are they purty.

I like the straight blade look too. As soon as my mtb-ss project comes online I'll be in the market something similar. Gotta finish my tourer/commuter first.

Yup, it's a Wound-Up and you can find it...on my bike, surprisingly enough.

As noted, a Wound Up cross fork. The same guy had a Calfee with the track ends. A picture of it is on the fixed gear gallery (#413).

The frame was on ebay this past week. Looks like he transferred everything off of the Clafee onto the Moots. Very, very nice.

Something in my memory banks tells me he runs a shop Vecchio's in Colorado. Hence the sticker on the toptube.
