What happens when you hit the brakes? My carbon roadie forks are elastic to the point of being worrying when I brake hard and other carbon forks I've tried are the same.
"but On-One has finally pulled its finger out and made a completely different aluminium frame" I assume what this actually means is that On One have finally asked a Taiwanese factory to make them some ally frames?

Our steel builders (usually you'd have a different factory for steel and aluminium frames) actually specialise in aluminium frames, and were continually amused by our love of steel.
They asked me if i wanted to make an aluminium frame and I mumbled and grumbled about a stiff ride etc... which is how we ended up with the Scandal being made up like it has been :-). And it's ace!

But your "carbon roadie forks" probably aren't a constant 33.70mm in diameter (slimming down at the dropout makes a big difference to braking performance).
How much Comfort does it give, compared to a complaint Alu frame ?? ( tried 456's can't feel the alledged comfort, but need to test with my rear wheel/fat tyre in place ) Is it strong enough for hard use from a 16stone+ person ?? Cost ??
The Forks okay for my weight aswell, not for hard use just light XC!!
* Edit, carbon and Alu, Carbon being the Fork I see, not rear end of the frame *
