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

Steelman if you want a steel fork. The CDA is cheaper, but you'll need to hook up with a Serotta dealer/fitter who will not farg up your geometry with his delusions of grandeur. Seriously, the two most important elements needed to getting the Serotta that *you* want is finding the right fitter, and knowing fairly precisely what you need and want.

I have a Serotta dealer here who does great job at fittings, I worked with her to dial in my cross bike and she got it spot on. I don't plan on a steel fork I was thinking of the Pro Ouzo, AlphaQ or the F3. I am more interested in the impressions of the ride for each. Thanks.

I'd go with steelman just cause there's something about serotta I don't like.
Of course, I'd go with Indy Fab over both...
