I've seen the unpainted prototype fork in person and it's really cool looking. It reminds me of the Colnago "precisa" style fork. It has enough clearance for a Roll-y Pol-y or Challenge Parigi-Roubaix, provided you have a frame that can take a 27 or 28 in the rear.
I completely agree that the one without eyelets is particularly suave. But my understanding is that the final product will have eyelets, though I don't really see the point, because in order to squirt a fender in there you can't ride anything larger than a 23. I'd rather ride a Roll-y Pol-y and get wet rather than 23s and stay (only somewhat) dry. Eyelets or not, I'm in the process of looking for a frame to use with it when it comes out.
