Some years back, Grant wrote at a little length on fork bends and how he was working with the new supplier in Taiwan to get the bends just right. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, and while I don't get hung up on fork radii, I don't like straight leg forks at all. All of my bikes have varying fork curves. The Ram is about perfect IMO, the Saluki a close second. The Road std and a Maruishi-for-Nashbar have less than I would like, while a B-stone has too much. They ALL ride great. They also all have stays without any crimps in them, which is a deal killer for me. Like I said, everyone's idea of just right is different.
Jim is right about not being zombie sycophants mouthing the praises of Walnut Creek bikes. We're here becuase we generally like them and the aesthetic that they rise from, but we won't always like every thing that comes along from RBW WHQs. That's fine too. There's always enough stuff there for me to like. I won't live long enough to need another bike (that is, wear out any of the current stable mates) but I send others their way fairly often.
