Which fork for my custom steel?
 
I'd like to have a fork which is lightweight, but reliable and tough enough for the bad roads here in northern Maine. I'm leaning toward the Reynolds Ouzo Pro Lite. I'm getting a frame from Carl Strong. He's tentatively going to use Ox Plat/Col Life tubing. I weight 170 lbs. Any feedback on the Look HSC5? I haven't seen much info on it. The Alpha Q's seem quite light, but I've read they may be whippy. I'd appreciate any input.

I have a Reynolds Ouzo Pro (not lite) for my Steve Rex road frame (not built for me but might as well have been), it is a very nice match with no whippiness I can detect. I am a good bit heavier a rider (210 #) as well.

I'd think the best person to ask would be Carl Strong.
