I just bought my Flyte
I just purchased a Flyte SRS-3 and I'm trying to choose a fork right now. I weight about 165 pounds with my Camelbak. What are you fellow Flyte owners using? are you happy with your fork choice?How well does the fork crown blend in with the bottom of the headtube I'm thinking about an Easton EC90-SLX. What should I choose for components on a budget, Dura-Ace 9-speed or 105 10-speed? All constructive comments are appreciated.

you chould be able to get a deal on the Flyte CR3 fork, I like mine although its a bit heavy for no apparent reason, it looks Identical to the Scott CR1 fork. Another good value that I have experience with is the Real Design HP signature or pro. If money were no object I'd choose an Alpha-Q but then you are talking about a fork thats almost 2X the cost of the SRS3. Any integrated design should work with the SRS3.
