That's nice and loads of Google info on death forks , imho over hyped .

they just look a bit wrong

Finally got to have a look at these forks on my laptop - I think it's just the angle they're photographed at.
My son did his first 40 mile charity ride on my Pro Race last Sunday

me too. Obviously
I think 501 suffers from a bit of "Reynolds snobbery" which is unfortunate, but that does mean you can often pick one up for not much money
