Point well taken, I just thought if I was replacing the existing fork then I may just go CF as opposed to alloy since they're getting pretty cheap.
What do you think about the Michelins I picked out?
I am going to see how this year goes, I am not sure I am hardcore enough to ride in the rain so I may just get a little underseat fender but we will see; liking it so far!
I am lucky that I have flexible office hours - it would be tricky if I was punching a time clock. All things to consider if your employer is bike friendly
