Replacing a Fork
I don't like the way that my stock fork looks. It's basically big black and chromoly.
I like the way that this fork looks
https://www.google.com/products/catal...ed=0CCkQ8wIwAw
I also use canti brakes so I need the mounts.
Only issue is that my stock fork is 1.125" while this one is 1"
Does that mean I'd also need a new headset?

No, it means it wont fit, unless you use headset reducer, like a Chris King Devolition; you need a 1 1/8th (1.125) Steerer tubed fork.
Also, is your current fork threaded or threadless, this will also determine if you need a new headset / aheadset and stem
