As a fellow former Clyde who has gone from 240 to 180, the carbon forks I have used (from a Winwood Dusty to the one on my Fuji Cross Comp to a no-name fork), I have never had trouble and love the way it takes the buzz out of the road. I was concerned about the stopping power of my V-brake setup with Kool Stop salmons and discs on the one bike, but the guys over in Mechanics assured me that I would go over the bars at this weight before a fork ever snapped on me.

Just to quell your concerns about the stability of CF on a fork. The Outlaw looks like a rad bike.
