I'm considering putting the original steel fork back on just for esthetics, a tough decision when the Easton rides much better.
Definitely not knocking the use of a long cage, it just stuck out when looking at the bike. Its probably the writing on it vs a blank black arm. Totally understand using gears that work.
The black fork looks good to me since the saddle, shifters, and tape are black. You have some black, some chrome and some red thats well distributed. And the gunmetal gray stem works too.
