Carbon Fiber fork, reviews/recomendations??
I am building up a cross bike for racing (not commuting). I weigh 135 lbs, but need a fork that will last more than 1 season. I have found a reynolds ouzo pro review at cyclingnews.com, but can't find any other reviews. There are few old threads on roadbikereview.com, but with little detail. Do you know of any links for reviews, or have detailed experience with a certain fork? thanks...

I've played around with a Ritchey Cross Comp a bit, and love it. I looked at it because it has eyelets and a caliper hole for mounting fenders. It's much heavier than the Ritchey WCS, but riding 'cross is my secondary purpose while commuting is primary. I'll be buying one for my new frame in the near future.
FWIW, I'm getting a Habanero Ti and Mark from Habcycles uses the WCS on his ti 'cross frame. He says it's awesome.

I'm riding the EASTON EC90X on my YETI. Nice-n-stiff with no issues to speak of. Eyelets for fenders. Probably on the heavy side for a 135 pounder but they are durable under my 200 pound frame.
