...........IT certainly has no need to look Generic, given the Cost, and nor is..... its Modern to fit Modern Components an Excuse either, (see previous Examples already shown of how it could be done, and has been done).
It doesnt take a lot for a frame to compete or standalone. It doesnt have to be Benchmark, simply considered.

It's a difficult one really as I guess for the money you have the right to expect something special. To me, looking with eyes that will not be buying it looks like a modern Yo. Maybe I'm just worn down with how hideous modern bikes can be.
If I had the money spare would I buy one? Probably not at that price but I'd want to try one before ruling it out.

If he'd done that wouldn't it have run the risk of people complaining the fork didn't look like the old one? Granted though, 1 1/8th forks in oversized or tapered headsets rarely looks good.
