Price Paid:  $300.00 at Nelen's

Favorite Ride:
PCH, Topanga to Ventura

Bike Setup:
Colnago CT1, Campy Record 10, Campy Record Carbon Cranks, Zipp 303 wheels, ITM Bars / Stem.

Summary:
I've used the 1" version of this product for over 4 years. This is an excelent execution of fairly light weight and very strong design. I would think that the 1 1/8" would be even better. I've done down hill >50 mph and the product is very stable. Hammering on the flats, there is a bit of flex.

Strengths:
Stability, works well with colnago frame.

Weaknesses:
Slight flex when hamering.

Price Paid:  $0.00 at RA Cycles

Favorite Ride:
One with hills

Bike Setup:
Colnago C50, Mavic ES, DA Drive, FSA Titanium BB/Carbon Pro Compact Crank, Zero Gravity Ti Brakes, Colnago Carbon Seat Post, Kestrel Carbon Pro bars, Fizik saddle, Conti 4000 tires

Summary:
I bought a 2004 C50 which came with the Star Fork. This is not the lightest folk you can buy but the ride is magic, stiff yet smooth. Going up hill the fork is flex free when climbing out of the saddle. Down hill at speeds over 40 mph you are on a rail no fear no flex

Strengths:
Looks, cache, stiff, smooth ride...... It's a Colnago nuff said... Did I say looks?

Weaknesses:
Weight.. A bit heavy compaired to Ozo Pro EC90 etc...

Similar Products Used:
EC90, Ozo Pro, etc... etc...
