Decided to spend a bit on my CX bike. So can anyone recommend a good quality fork and some decent shallow drop bars.

Just bought some Deda Newton Shallow drops for my CX build.
Seem nice and stiff.
Reasonable price from HighOnBikes too.

Was looking at the Easton 90CX forks but a bit pricey at over £300.

What are you after, how much do you want to spend?

Easton ec70x look nice and ride well but much heavier than the more expensive ec90cx. Kinesis forks always look good to especially the new cross fork.

Not to bothered about price for the fork. I don't race but while i've got the money i'd like a decent pair that's going to last as it's the main bike I use I don't mind spending the money on it and it's not like they are going to be replaced every year.

I'll have a look at the Deda Newton ackle,

Winowwod or Wound Up forks are very good, and the new Kinesis RC09 fork looks to be very nice.

ec90x far more comfortable than ec70x in my experience
