Yo Susan,

Good choice on the wheel size. I don't know what fork you are going with, but if you are interested in a carbon option that isn't all aero-like in how it looks (read, massive blades), tell Natalie I have a pile of 650c Reynolds Ouzo Pro's I snatched up from Serotta about a year ago--1" steerer, all carbon. I'm happy to sell her/you one. Maybe she has other options in mind, but in 650c this would be the way to go, as any replacement steel fork would also likely take a 1" steerer. Good price, too.

Have fun!
