    Price Paid:  $108.00 at eBay

    Bike Setup:
    Leader 780R with Carbon seatstays, Ultegra, Campagonolo Proton Wheels

    Summary:
    This fork soaks up road vibrations without diminishing road feel. It is a very sure-footed fork. It is comfortable, letting me ride further and faster without fatigue. An excellent value.

    Strengths:
    Inexpensive, for a carbon fork.

    Weaknesses:
    1" steerer. I think you're out of luck if you need 1 1/8"

    Price Paid:  $130.00 at Nashbar.com

    Bike Setup:
    alluminum frame 1 inch steerer

    Summary:
    This was my first carbon fork so i have no real comparison but i'd have to say it has a great ride quality. The fork is lighter than most steel forks but has a similar ride quality. It's heavear than most high-end carbon forkes but has a good manufacturer warreny,name and exellent vibration dampening qualities. I'd recomend the fork to any rfecrational rider coming from steel.

    Strengths:
    Great dampaning qualites
    good ride feel, similar to steel with less weight
    good warrenty and name
    comes in 1 or 11/8

    Weaknesses:
    heaver than most
    should use Easton tools for inatallation
