The guy bought a D'fly and Alpha Q fork, arguably one of the lightest combo available. Why add more weight with the heavier headtube/stem/fork combo? Note, I'm in the 190lb + catagory and ride a 1" fork. I'm heavy and very hard on my bike (I've crashed several times on my Calfee - including a couple that caused personal injury to me - but the bike survived with no problems - go Calfee!) I never have any flex with my 1" fork. Further, Craig doesn't believe a 1 and 1/8" fork is necessary, except for maybe on tandems or you're extremely big, and 190lb is not extreme. So, if you haven't already done so, get the 1" headtube. Post Extras
