No Dice

What we have here is a very nice lugged steel fork with a polished crown. It is part of the Soma Stanyan frame and fork set. I saw this on the Soma Fabrications website and thought it would be a very nice alternative to the full carbon fork over which I am having second thoughts. Knowing it is made for the Stanyan frame I sent off an email to Soma anyhow inquiring if the fork can be purchased individually. It doesn't hurt to ask. Here is my inquiry verbatim:

  To Whom It May Concern,

   I'd really love to have the polished, lugged fork that comes with the 

  Stanyan frame for my Smoothie. Do you sell that fork separately?

  Kevy


A few days later I received a response from Soma which was simply one sentence:

  Sorry we don't right now.

Well, that certainly answered my question.
