I may just take it to a bike mechanic have it cleaned up and tweaked and if all goes well, I'll just have some new rubber put on it and see what happens in the future.
you might try contacting Felt and ask them about their Single Speed Gridlock Commuter bike's fork construction... and since CF dropouts have mostly proven unreliable, they May replace that fork for free...
