Well, technically the forks have the same rake (45mm) as the ones that came with the frame. So there's no real difference in handling that I can tell. I think the new forks are slightly more compliant than the old ones, ride feels a little smoother.
Oh and re: looks - I know it's never going to win any HHSB prizes but I reckon it looks nice and functional now, 'speshly when it's got the Carradice on there. Only problem is the slack seat tube angle, need a frame with something steeper. And maybe crabon wheels with white hubs to match the headset. :)
