the perfect fork for your Classic IMO is a Reynolds Ouzo Pro Full carbon with a 43mm rake. IIRC that’s the fork that high end Litespeeds were spec’d with back in the day. The lower end frames were spec’d with a Litespeed-labeled Look Carbon with an Al steerer. I found an NOS uncut Ouzo Pro on eBay a couple of years ago for $130. You might also look for an Ouzo Comp (Al steerer). That’s where I would start to look - otherwise some of the online suppliers - CRC, Totalcycling, Wiggle etc and see what they have. However, I think you’re going have some difficulty finding a full carbon with a 1” steerer - there are Al-steerer forks out there. If you go full carbon, bear in mind that there’s a limit to how high you can stack a stem with a carbon steerer, and this is even more important for a 1” steerer. Someone might chime in with some rule of thumb, but personally I wouldn’t put more than 20mm of spacers on a 1” carbon steerer

Here's a Columbus model, 45mm rake though.
