Everyone seems to have carbon forks these days. A colleague in the CTC
told me I should really get carbon forks for my racing bike...but I
think he was actually after a cheap deal on the nice 531 forks it has at
the moment.

I'd rather have forks that matched the frame, and as someone who doesn't
even ride with gloves in summer, road buzz isn't a major concern ;-)
