Refitting a Legend TI. I've solved the 1" head tube/spacers problem. So now a better problem. Which fork to get--F3 (8.6), Ouzo Pro or Easton?

I'm 6 ft, 170 pounds. Ride 2-4 times per week. No racing but fast group rides and lots of hills (SF Bay Area).

Opinions? I'm leaning toward the F3 but on no basis other than it is the latest. I have not ridden it.

I wouldn't recommend the first model year of anything, but Serotta has great customer service which is an insurance policy.

If you have a 1" heatube your only choices are the ouzo pro and the easton sl, F3 is 1 1/8" only.

I have the Easton SL on one bike and the Reynolds on 2 others. While I have the utmost of confidence in Easton's carbon expertise, the Reynolds is the best fork I have ridden: smooth, sure, stable -- but not harsh. I'm only 150 lbs, but I can feel the Easton flexing a bit in hard turns. At your size, I think the Reynolds would be the best choice, particularly for descending SF type hills.
