I certainly miss the modularity of some of the old timer forks like Marzocchi, Stratos. If your steerer was too short for your new frame, get a new one. Dented a lower? Replace it. Fatter rubber? Custom brake arch. Granted, they all came with their drawbacks like premature stress fractures in the crowns, creaking, weight, etc. but those forks were on a whole different level when it came to user service-ability.
