I need a new fork (700, threadless, 1'') for my work bike but I never bought any replacement fork. I ride the original fork on all of my other bikes. I thought that maybe someone as a suggestion of the type of fork I should get and why. My frame is lugged steel so I guess putting a carbon fork on that wouldn't be very intelligent since I don't rally count every grams. I was considering straight blade alluminum but I don't know what are the advantage considering the smoothness of the ride, the weight and the durability of a fork like that. Thank you for helping out.
