I note the lack of exclusion in the OP's question or the initial replies. If one wants a specific type of construction then say so right off the bat and don't assume we can read your mind. Andy
Fair enough. I guess I assumed a few things and limited it to my experience. I've only built a fork with a crown with a 7 degree angle, straight blades and socket dropouts. Now I understand what you meant.
