Needed: track fork

Hey all,
I've decided that in order to win more on the road, I need to get better at sprinting and small-group tactics...

So, I'm picking up track for this coming year at Marymoor Velodrome in Redmond WA (Seattle area)

I got a track frame through my team, and we have a few Raleigh 'Rush Hour Pro' bikes from Raleigh, but no fork for the bike I got.
So - does what does the BF intelligentsia have to say for a replacement fork?
I'm hoping for an alloy steerer, and an over-all cost for the fork of less than 200... any suggestions?

Carbon, Steel, what should I look for?
I've got an offer of an Ouzo Pro Track fork for 150, should I go for that?

many thanks for the help

Bikes: too many of all kinds

you have to make sure the offset is correct in order to give you the trail you are looking for. I would just get a stock fork from the manufacturer unless you are willing to do the research into this stuff.

FixedGearFever.com did a track fork review a while back. Look around there.

I'm currently using my iPhone, so research is difficult. Otherwise I'd send a link.
