Help me find a good carbon fork for my Windsor The Hour
I'm looking for a nice, affordable carbon fork, (in the $100-120 range). The frame is a size 54.I was looking at the ones on here, but i'm not sure what the best choice would be.. Help me out!

Besides the kinesis forks on Bikeisland, other options are the Forte Axis (Performance) and the Nashbar carbon forks. But since the frame takes 1 1/8", you can probably find a nice used carbon fork off ebay for cheap (<$80 shipped). A while back, I picked up a new take off full carbon fork off ebay for ~$40 shipped.

it's good. i was super worried about it when i first got it, as it was my first carbon anything. but it's holding up pretty well for the abuse that i give it...

I believe that is the same fork as the Forte Axis(rebranded Kinises) fork.
