Can someone reccomend a fork?
I'm looking for a reliable carbon fork for my QS2-S build, but not looking to spend 3 or 4 hundred bucks on an EC-90 or Ouzo Pro or something. Anyone have any good ones theyd like to share? I need one with a 1-1/8" tube, 700c, 43 mm rake.
anyone use a ITM Spider? saw them on probikekit and dont know anything about em. thanks in advance.

My Ouzo Pro came with my Douglas Precision Ti. It is nice and light but lacks the plush ride of the steel fork on my old Paramount.

This is why I don't understand people buying just a frame from Pedal Force. While the frames are a good deal, 1/2 the deal is in their component pricing.
The EC90 SL was $160 from them.

yeah, i know, i saw that too. i had (have) a fork that i was going to use, which is why i didnt get one with the frame, but the rake is only 40mm and it makes the bike really twitchey, so i want a 43mm rake, which is what the PF forks are.
