So anyone actually gonna be helpful?
What you planning to ride Belgian? I know people who commute/cycle instructors with carbon forks who haven't had a problem. Frankly, I don't think they're necessary. There was a study with a guy who rode two bikes (one lighter modern frame and one old steel frame) alternately on his commute and either the difference was negligible or the steel frame was actually quicker. I'd look it up but I'm meant to be busy working!
