Out of interest, why didn’t you go for a Seven fork? I can’t remember if you mentioned this way back when.
Precisely because in my experience, commodity items where possible is better.
I scratch things, I ding them, I replace things, I want them serviced by people who know them... so the Robin Mather was the pinnacle of bespoke for me, and now the extent of bespoke is the frame only and everything else I choose based on what is available as standard at the time.
My criteria were: clearance for bigger tyres, mudguard capable (ideally provided), disc brake.
I was getting so much other stuff from Enve I just threw these in.
I do think they're good... they just don't match what they replaced, a Serotta and the F3 forks... but that's cool, nothing on this bike really replaced that, this is a different bike so I accept the feel is different too.

Thanks for the info @velocio - at least someone gets me!
Your sentiments are exactly why I’m doing this.
Have you considered a custom carbon fork? Mike Lopez in San Diego, who designed all of the serotta forks while at Reynolds I believe, can make you a custom tuned carbon fork.
