That being said, I don't think the Sam H fork bend is anywhere close to as nice as an Atlantis. I think the Betty Foy/Yves Gomez forks are even worse. In a way, I prefer the Salsa frames and forks. They are simple, clean looking, and relatively inexpensive. I think that the changes that Riv has made in Taiwan have really compromised their looks.
