Not sure about the Sam forks. I think the Hunqa forks were supposed to be Toyo-built. That said, I have a first run (Taiwanese?) Sam (bought Sept 09), which has the 3 dot fork crown, slender fork blades, and cantilevers (but has the seatstay bridge with the hole underneath for direct fender mounting w/o sliding bracket). For what it's worth, but it's curious that my Taiwan Sam is more similar to the Waterford Sam than the Taiwan Sam in the photos.
I love my Sam, and while I agree that all the changes are trivial, I personally do really appreciate the ability to mount a rear fender directly. Don't know why Waterford won't use those seatstay bridges. Gernot On Sep 2, 2:03 am, Bruce <fullylug...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Did I read somewhere that the Maxway frame uses a Toyo built fork?
