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

Wow, I paid that much for a 2005 Solano frame with an Reynolds fork last year.

Yeah. I remember Performance has a set of full carbon forks (Forte Axis Pro?) that were very light. I feel very lucky that I snagged one then (about 4 years ago) now very light 1" forks are quite hard to find.
