Pinarello Onda fork

Ben "invented" the S-bend chainstays back in the 80's now
almost every new bike has them. Last year
Pinarello introduced the Onda fork (described as an s-bend).

From the Velo-News article about the 2003 TdF bikes:
Quote:
new Onda carbon fork - Onda is Italian for "wave" - has been very popular with the riders on all three teams, according to Pinarello. "They are more comfortable, and the riders especially like them in descents," he says. "All of the riders have been using Onda forks all season [mostly on aluminum Prince SL frames] and love them. The old fork is more rigid. . .
I was asking about the fork that was on a Dogma frame at LBS
the other day, wondering what benefits there were to this
design. The manager of the shop seemed to feel it was hype.
Has anyone ridden this fork? Hype? best thing since Ottrott?
I'd be curious to know what Ben and Co. feel about the s-bend
being applied to the fork.
