Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Thinking about a carbon fork

What's a decent, somewhat affordable one? My bike has a KRF aluminum fork right now and I'd like something a little more forgiving. It has a lot of rake to it too which I think kind of slows down the steering which I'm not a fan of.

Not sure how much they go for, but something kind of middle level. Probably $150-200 at the most.

Nashbar has the Easton EC 70 for about $150. Look around for the Reynolds Ouzo -- see if it's on sale for less than $200.
