you need to be more specific\know what you want.

cause preference for handlebars and different parts can get very specific

I have a dk opsis 09  I like it but I think I want something a little shorter because getting out of cliffhangers is a pain with such along tt. I know I want something shorter and zero offset
but as far as want parts are the best I have know idea I want something light but isn't going to brake because I don't have money to keep replaceing parts.

Are you using a railed seat and seat post on your Opsis...if so,try moving the seat further forward.

What's more important to you....having light parts,or having parts that won't break so easily?

Sucks to hear about the forks...were they stock ones?

Get yourself some Odyssey Flatware Forks....Lifetime warranty on those suckers...

The 0mm offset Flatware forks only weigh like 1.86 pounds.
