Solution? As you say, "pay close attention". :) @Will: The Ritchey fork is known to me, (I have a friend with one, actually), and it is functionally similar to the Syncros FL, which will appear in this shootout. The big difference is that the Syncros is fully carbon, while the Ritchey features an aluminum alloy steer tube. @dgaddis: I post every article on the site ;)

I just recently purchased this fork and found that the quality of construction and performance were excellent (neither flexy or brutally stiff). I'm only 140 lbs so I initially thought that this fork might be overbuilt for someone of my weight. However, to my surprise, the ride of the Ritchey fork was pretty compliant and WAY better than the rigid steel forks I'd ridden in the past (I have never ridden another carbon fork so don't know how it compares). Really, there is no comparison between this fork and old steel forks....night and day. Anyway, I'd be interested in seeing what you guys thought.

Would like to see a picture of that frame with an "old" style two leg fork. Hey c_g, how about a drive side profile shot of the On-One with the fork.

It confuses folks who aren't paying close attention. This article was done by c_g, but it says "by Guitar Ted" right under the title. Back on topic, enjoyed this test, can't wait to see which fork took the #1 spot (my money is on the Niner) Slightly off topic….but is there any way you could change the way the site display’s who posted an article?
