I have a couple of questions about them if anyone has.

Are they any good? How much is the customs cost likely to be?

I need a rigid fork (or short travel fork) for my commuter, i put a wanted up yesterday but had no replies and have been looking at these. I don't want to spend a huge amount and these seem reasonable.

Coming from Taiwan? If so, I'd be surprised if you end up paying any tax, but consider would you be happy if you had to pay 20%.
You might have a £8.95 international handling fee if Parcelfarce end up delivering it though.

I bought a Mosso aluminium one, the M3 about a year ago. It was a nice fork, light, the right length (check that, there were only a few 440mm ones) not quite as harsh as you'd think too.

Took about 2 weeks to arrive from afar, no taxes.

Edit: yep, about 2wks and no taxes here too.

Have a look at the Kinesis website. Alu fork suitable for canti's or disc brakes. Light, cheap and from the uk.
You can fit a 2.5" tyre in there too which is nice.

I have some of the Kinesis ones. A touch flexy depending on what you weigh and what you intend to do with them.
