Can somebody elucidate the diff?

Is one stronger than the other?

Cheaper to make?

Stiffer?


If made correctly, the unicrown fork should be
stronger, lighter, & stiffer and cheaper to make.

Unicrown forks are uglier, but I guess that's the
price of progress.

But those two forks aren't really comparable:
I'm pretty sure that broze fork is made for much
narrower tires and in any case the legs are
quite a bit smaller diameter.
