Considering the Ritchey comp carbon fork for my new build of the colorado legend ti i won on ebay last week.. this will be for my wife, 55cm frame, she is 150 lbs and not a racing type rider, but we do like our high intensity rides from time to time. anyone have an opinion on this fork. shopping for 1" forks limits your choices.
thanks

Had one on my Hors.

Decent fork, perhaps a little stiff compared to an Ouzo Pro.

You're right, good 1" forks with longer steerers are nearly worth their weight in gold.

Fwiw, I had the Ritchey Comp Carbon CX on my Hors CX and it was way too stiff. Replaced it was an Ouzo Pro CX....

Columbus Minimal rides nicer and can still be found new, as can used Ouzo Pro's...

When I bought Bruce K's Concours I called a bunch of smaller manufacturers and Steve Rex had a 1" Alpha Q for a great price.

The Ouzo Pro is still my favorite.
