so, there are some carbon forks with a long 1" steerer that have come up thanks to @WimVDD :
any opinions on how well it will suit the bike?
I have been wanting to go for the kinesis aluminium forks from @GreatSince78 (see pics on earlier pages), but on looking at some other GT's I thought the shiny alu might not be the best look, and I have seen a bit more of the more rounded carbon look:
The combination of the carbon forks having:
1)plenty of steerer
2) looking pretty good and probably being a bit more in line with original
3) being cheaper and
4) being a bit more shock-absorbent than alu
makes me want to go for those over the kinesis... anyone want to dissuade me otherwise?
