I picked up a 2200 (853, lugs, etc) NOS frame and steel Waterford fork that was a year old but in a 'stock' size on line for next to nothing. The dealer who had it hanging on the wall as a displaysaid he has had very good luck with them but sold this one cheap because his customers now want the no-extra-cost custom builds from Waterford. It rides very nicely, the fit and finish is quite good and most dealers I have spoken with are quite pleased with them as well. Riding here in SE Wisconsin, I see quite a few as they are kinda the 'home product.' Most of the owners I have talked to are very happy with them.
