A good choice, as I've found 1" Al threadless steerers to be too flexy and damnable.
Thanks.

Interesting: I have never heard/seen a carbon fork with steel steerer tube. An interesting combination.

That aside, I would never invest in carbon components. Practically impossible to know their state (there is specialized equipment that can diagnose them, but the price is several tens of thousands bucks). Not that they're unsafe, but they sure are a puzzle.
