  • Got any pics of your bike as it is?

    No pictures, but it's build up in all black with Zipp parts. The green one is tempting, but there's just something about that blue colour!

    Would it be total bonkers to look for a fork with less rake in order to make it appear like it has a tighter geo like the original frame?

  • it's not uncommon for Capo owners to swap out the road fork (43-45) to an Alpina track (35ish) to reduce the gap. I did it on my old 5 and didn't notice any issues

    You'd need a tapered fork which limits you but the Columbus Pista Leggera is quite nice albeit with an alloy steerer

    This guy closed the gap on his Vigo with one

    Not sure how well it would work visually with that head/down tube junction though.

    Personally if I were swapping the fork I'd go for the skinnier CAAD12 fork which would allow you to run a 28c and close the gap a bit that way. Think there might be different rake options as well.
