But You don't have to..
The Carbon blade, alloy steerer tube combination is in between.
all metal and all carbon, won't weigh a lot more..
I actually held off for a year before deciding on this frameset just because it included a full-carbon fork, which i really didn't think was such a good idea.
in my opinion, carbon frames/forks blades = okay. steerer tubes/drops = no. I just don't think safety is worth shaving an extra 100-200 grams?
