There was a 1in ec90sl. I never took a weight on mine, but I would be surprised it it was much over 300g. It was full carbon from steerer to dropouts. For the longest time, finding NOS examples on ebay was pretty easy. It may have been another aspect of my setup, but I found it a little to flexible and indecisive for my linking. It wasn't a problem with normal riding, but it wasn't confidence inspiring during a sprint. (I'm about 6'1" 175lbs)
if I were going 1in carbon again, it would be with a wound up. Other than its polarizing appearance, I hear nothing but great things.
for another bit of 1in trivia, the UK Sport bikes as seen under guys like Wiggins during the Olympics has a 1in steerer. I thought I also recalled seeing another 1in tt bikes still in production. I didn't think it was felt, but it may have been.
it looks like felt still has stock of the aero fork for $300 USD. Contact me, if you want to discuss getting one sent your direction.
