Replacement fork for K2 MOD 4.0?
Never mind, all I was looking for was some suggestions on aftermarket road fork brands etc. Evidently I should look elsewhere for information.

The bike is my girlfriend's 2003 K2 MOD 4.0. We got it used, from original owner and no crash history and it's in super nice shape. It FITS, and is a nice bike but particularly because she doesn't mind 30+ mph speeds I would like to replace the original, 18 yr old carbon blades/ Al steerer fork.
1) I would like carbon legs but don't really want a carbon steerer.
2) RE rake/trail: I don't want the handling to be any "faster" than it is, so rake/trail matters.
Note:
I live in a rural area with nothing like a real (road) bike shop within hours, so "shopping" will be via internet.
More importantly, I know there are/have been some forks out there that are somewhat "unreliable" , so would appreciate suggestions re known good brands of replacement forks.
it's 1 1/8"
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I will carefully measure your fork's offset and the other pertinent dimensions. I'll shop for a suitable replacement and report my findings to you. Then I'll properly dispose of your old fork. Standing by... HTH
