Those hub centre + angle iron front ends have quite a history. Back in the early 70’s Difazio Motorcycles down in the West Country produced a load of them as ‘kits’ for a range of different road bikes.
From memory they had a reputation for being a little unstable at walking pace speeds and the hub centre setup meant restricted steering lock. I always thought they’d make an interesting alternative to the std forks but sadly there was always too much month left at the end of my money to find out.
