Weirdly I had my hands on a set of very similar looking Bontragers only the other day

Unless it's a type I've not seen before, they would have been Bontrager Composite forks you saw which have a slightly tapered leg. Similar construction, although they are quite different when placed together.
Pics for comparison:

It's an intricate science to which I strive for absolute perfection.*

How well does the "a bit more crumpet" feature work?

It's risky at best. If you have crumpet and she gives you a quick look but you want a bit more, it could all turn to toast and you'll be frozen out.

Nice forks by the way.
