A few weeks ago I posted "my first carbon fork": (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=52230&highlight=carbon).
I put a Profile-Design BSC carbon fork (steel steerer) on my 531 bike, and I've gotta say, I really miss the springy feel of the old steel forks.
I can't use the old forks because the steerer is too short, and my back was killing me bending over so much, and I don't really wanna put a huge steel fork with a long steerer in there because it will probably weigh 1kg (I'm a closet weight weanie).
What can I do?
Are there any springy carbon forks out there?
