I have a factory spec Charge Juicer Mid that's built up with relatively heavy components (Brooks saddle / steel mudguards / triple chainset / low to mid range components).

I like the bike so much that I've just bought another Juicer frame, with the intention of building it up into a relatively light-weight* 'summer bike'. Given the weight saving, a carbon fork seem the way to go, but to match the frame I need a fork that will accept long reach calipers. A quick Google finds these:

Any thoughts on the above or other recommendations? Thanks.

*I do understand that a steel framed bike's never going to be light-weight in absolute terms and I'm not going to throw silly money at this project, but I'm hoping to bring it in at about 20lbs.

The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
Ribble do a winter-bike fork with mudguard eyes and long reach. The Cannondale ones look like a bargain.
