So I need to look at some back up alternatives. The Giant OCR-Elite isn't a bad choice, but it's not steel and isn't a full carbon fork (but does have carbon rear stays). A buddy just bought an OCR-1 which is cheaper, but not a full ultegra groupo and no carbon rear stays.

Man decisions, decisions...
