Why can't I ride it? I chose to omit the upper headset cup on the bottom frame, as it made the fork build more complicated and made servicing the headset actually impossible. As it turns out, that bearing was doing more than I thought; the squishy feeling is only amplified by the more powerful Miele caliper.
I'll post some detail shots soon; I hope to find a solution to this problem that doesn't involve building another new fork.

I has another idea.
Weld an I Beam into the steerer?
Maybe some clamp on external gusseting to see if stiffening the steerer tube makes a difference?
Partial update: We have a couple of drawings which show potential options for stiffening the steerer tube. If Lyle felt like shooting a photo and uploading, we could discuss ;)
Ooh nice photo morgman.
