a Gunnar with custom curved blade Waterford fork is $1150. Interesting price points both companies are juggling here. It all sounds good to me.
delete the extra top tube and lower the price $100. Then you got the lovely lugged, sloping top tube, steel forked, American made (mostly) $1000 beaut. still not a fan of double top tube aesthetics. a curvey Retrotec is on thing.
