Tommmmmm has minimals. If other Columbus forks are anything else to go by, they'll be great. They're rather expensive though. If you'd like to save some money and can compromise on the carbon steerer, Tifosi 1 inchers are a solid option, too.

Thanks JB. I don't mind paying the extra for the columbus, as long as I know they're fully up to the task. Although most reviews are glowing, a couple people have said they are really flexy, which I'm inclined to take with a pinch of salt.

Jacob rode on the track with a pair of Minimals and sung their praises to me.

Ok, think I'll probably go for the minimals then!
Thanks for the advice, I'll let you know how I get on with them.

first ride i had with some columbus minimals, i crashed a bit.
i felt the forks go boing as the bike bounced of the curb into a traffic barrier.
3000 miles later, no failures nor cracks. i bloody love 'em.
i had to pre order and wait a few months.i suppose they sell fast for a reason.
I've just bought a new steel frame and it's got a 1" headtube, so looking to buy a carbon fork to go with it.
I've got an easton sl90 on my colnago master which I've been racing on this season, and apart from a little flex when making out of the saddle efforts, it rides really well.
They look like they've been discontinued now which is a great shame.
Has anyone got any recommendations for which ones to go for, that are fairly easy to get hold of? I 'd like to stick to full carbon, instead of carbon blades and alloy steerer.
I've been looking at the columbus minimal forks, anyone got experience with these? I've read mixed reviews so am hesitating on buying these.
