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

Non-integrated 1-1/8" carbon for recommendations?

Looking for a new fork for my lugged steel frame. Have a Look HSC 3 on the bike now and the steerer tube has slight indentations where the stem clamps down. Frame and fork have about 25k miles on them, and want to assure the bike stays safe. The HSC 3 is a little flexy, which makes me question long term durability too.

Maybe a little nit picky on my part, but not a big fan of integrated carbon forks with non-integrated head tube frames. First choice would be an Ozuo Pro, but new examples are difficult to find. Current fork is 45mm offset, but anything from 40-45 should be fine.

Been out of the sport for the last few years so out of touch a little. Saw some favorable comments about Enve forks but not sure what else to target.

Input appreciated...

In the past I've bought Nashbar or Performance for these uses.

Something like:
