The Ritchey Breakaway Cross came with a Ritchey Comp Carbon Fiber fork with an AL steerer. I don't know why they replaced such a nice fork with tank. If you want to stick with steel, I'd buy a Soma lugged CX fork. Much nicer.
I have that exact same bike, but mine has a Ritchey WCS Carbon fork with a CF steerer. It is my favorite bike in my stable. Not my favorite travel bike...my favorite bike, period.
