That's really the point I'm making, that overall, and on most case scenarios, the ubiquitous "Tele" will come out on top. If you want to use a different criteria, IE.visual appearance/style, well, possibly a different result will occur, I agree. As far as Peanut's comment, well I can't really understand where it fits into this discussion, and as for the Britten fork, have you checked the detail and complexity of its manufacture? and at what cost, perhaps that's why nobody else uses them.The 'Hub Centre' steering concept on bikes like the Elf Endurance racers of a few years ago, was, in many ways, an improvement over existing telescopic forks, but again were never universally adopted due to them not being a sufficiently useful an improvement over the telescopic fork to warrant their expense and complexity!So it depends what you require,really, appearance or effect, which is,of course, up to the individual, but at least be honest with the reasoning when making the choice!
