You mention the steerer strength is between 1" and 11/8" threadless. Has
anyone given any thought to possibly the superior strength of 1" steerer

I recall someone on the RBW or iBOB list posting about getting a

Another option in line with what has already been mentioned, Find a
suspension fork crown that works for you and allows legs to be bolted to it
and have a builder make a legs that will fit it. It does not have to be the
Bontrager/Rock Shox one. It can be a later Rock Shox one with just the bolt

My guess, or hope is that the Microshift der is to get the derailleurs they
want with Shimano and such moving away from traditional looking and
operating offerings and that the retro stylized version will come out down
the road. A bit like the Silver 2 shifter after the Soma/Interloc(IRD)
