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.
