It was Rivendell/GP that brought fork bend into my consciousness. I do not think ride quality is noticably compromised by a dog-leg fork bend. But it was Rivendell who made me appreciate a low tight fork bend as in the Nobilette-made fork on the Legolas http://www.flickr.com/photos/79695460@N00/5598979996/in/set-72157607471577085 (hard to see here) Is the Betty Foy made in Taiwan? My Surly LHT was Taiwan made with its dog-leg fork http://www.flickr.com/photos/79695460@N00/5268867525/in/set-72157607471577085/ One of the side benefits of changing the LHT handling with a new fork was to get a more aesthetic fork bend http://www.flickr.com/photos/79695460@N00/5269479652/in/set-72157607471577085/ LHT fork comparison http://www.flickr.com/photos/79695460@N00/5268866551/in/set-72157607471577085/ All of this is of the aesthetic of what makes a nice looking bike, from this group's perspective. Fork bend and fender line do not effect performance, but for some folks including GP these are important points. I think Jim Thill's option A nicely explains the current offering....
