Brusko, Anthrax76
Thanks bros but I forgot to mention, aluminum yung carbon-look na steerer. No budget yet for a true carbon fork.
Thanks again.

Thanks for that advice ;D ;D . Actually I once had that same frame fitted with 2007 Tiagra Set (STI,FD,RD), Ultegra 9S (12T-27T Cogs), FSA Gossamer 34T-50T Cranks and Shimano WH-R500 wheelset. Sold everything (except the frame and fork) to a fellow PinoyMTBiker member, KRX, and bought some parts for my MTB. I have the frame re-size by Ave Maldea to fit me, before it was 53cm (C-T) and 54cm (top Tube), now its 51cm C-T and 52cm top tube. If I still don't enjoy it, it'll end up in my CatEye trainer. Thanks again sir.

I used to be a roadie before... I really love to spin on a road bike. Had sold my rig when the adrenaline bug bite me ;D. I really missed my road rig... by the way, the frame is Kinesis (only 840 gms; size is 52 cm... head tube center to seat post center) and the fork is Reynolds Ouzo comp (carbon blades w/ Al steerer tube) and Shimano 105 - 9spd group set . Now, I'm eyeing on a Focus Carbon frame and fork .

Go with the red fork. Aesthetically it looks better. The black fork looks like it's designed for a frame with a fatter head tube. I'm sure it will function fine, but it doesn't match the frame.
BTW that frame would make a great SS. Good looking retro frame.

Thanks for all the advice guys.
I ended up using the cervelo fork (due to the fact that a lot voted for it here and from my friends). I'll see how it handles with that fork.
Will post pics soon here.
Thanks everyall ;D ;D
