your top pick for rigid fork?

[Elev12k]

Yes, I am aware of that. Or at least, somebody else told me something like that too. The Potts ones used to have a concave tapered section near the dropout. With my fork it is a flat. The eyelets are an addition on request. The Phoenix frame has the same too. The former owner used it as commuter in and around the city of Utrecht. Pottser sold it him 1.5 decade ago when working at the single one shop in Holland that did WTBs.

you'd think with only one bolt holding each leg, you'd think that. but if it was the case it was not enough, you'd hear about it.

True, I imagine when the wheel is in place and secured, it minimizes stress on the two upper bolts holding the legs. I'm no engineer, so that's just a theory. I know Brodie built quality products, we so I've read- I've never owned anything Brodie made.
