Does somebody know which fork Gadret uses in his bikes?

And does somebody have some pics of his rig? I wonder if it's really a Decathlon product or just a AG2R paintjob.

Thanks in advance,
Timo

Yes I just wrote it here last winter, thing I read on a french forum. But can't swear it's true since I know someone involved in the brand B'Twin and told me that this little factory in the north of France was one of their own one, where they do some custom job, like Titanium frame for Ag2r and so..

But he's asking about the fork :idea: I'm not a cx specialist so I will let others looking at the pics and tell !

as far as i could judge, he has different forks on his bikes(if that makes sense or not is another discussion). one seems to be an empella fork, but with 3k carbon weave and without stickers. david derepas also has this kind of fork at one or two of his bikes.
gadret's other fork looks rather traditional and could be something in the kuota mud region. there are tons of forks looking similar, stevens, ridley zornic, and so on.
his frames have very much tire clearance, but no idea about anything else. i like them, compared to the ag2r road bikes wich i really hate.
