Ian,

You asked if anyone had a failure.

Yes, my father, who rode gently, had a viscount fork fail on him, with significant injures.

He still has the fork hanging in the basement. The failure mode is clearly visible. For a bit he had a creak that he could not figure out, that was the flexing near the crack. The failure showed a portion that was shiny as it got polished from use. And then a rough portion, where it finally failed. Textbook. Dan Kasha Seattle, Wa, USA
