Not commenting on the builder in question, but on straight-blade forks in general: it seems as though the reasoning behind blades with a low, uniform bend has been largely forgotten(?) Straight-blades seem to be really popular right now, but I wonder if it's only a matter of time before the buying public realizes that they transfer bumps directly to your wrists, and that well-curved blades are more comfortable.
I understand why big-name, big volume manufacturers use straight- blades, since they are cheaper to make. But on custom/handbuilt- bicycles it doesn't seem to jibe.
