Are you going for a steel or carbon fork?
My recent custom bike was also funded by a stock option windfall, though I'm still with the company.

They're going to put on a carbon fork. His reasoning was weight. My bike is big because...uh...I'm big. I think I read on their forums that Waterford tends to go with carbon forks unless a high reliability usage is planned (e.g., cross country, self-supported touring).
Mimi--some of the bikes they had there were really cool looking. I'm not a pastel sort of person, but I was surprised how nice the pastels looked with the more traditional panels. I asked the guy if they ever had someone request a color combination that was a disaster in the making. He described one case where they did an "intervention". They kept the woman's colors, but changed where and how they were used on the bike. In the end, it worked and she was happy.
