Matt, yes, that is a custom fork, done by Ed Foster of La Suprema Cycles here in Tucson. I drank the low trail kool-aid because I tour with a good chunk of weight up front (roughly 60 rear/40 front) and I climb steep dirt roads in the Sky Island country of southern Arizona. Low trail really does work in those contexts. BUT (and this is a big butt), I also had Omar paint the original fork just in case I do a philosophical about face. Cover your derriere big fella :^)
