It'll be absolutely fine of course. Had a Condor Tempo (Fratello with different dropouts) for 10yrs and the carbon forks didn't explode once.
Not that that's specific to Condor, or the Tempo, or Fratello.You wouldn't expect carbon forks on just about every bike across every discipline for the last 20yrs if they were prone to falling apart when faced with a road.

Thanks. Re-assured about durability.
Guess part of my question is about ride in a pothole hell like London. Will be doing a test ride soon but any personal experiences welcome

I've had one for 7 years, it's a tough machine and still a joy to ride.

Does anyone here eat with a knife and forks?
It's a fork, innit

But do you wear a trouser ? Or a jean ?
All older readers of this forum will know that in the past the subject of this conversation was always referred to in the plural - forks. I shall continue to use this term myself out of force of habit, but I will admit there is a certain logic to calling them (it) a fork.
There are other modern terms which are not so sensible - for example 'fixed gear' instead of fixed wheel.

But do you wear a trouser ?
You do, one on each leg. That's why they're called a "pair of trousers"

Mate of mine has one, over a year of a lot of varied riding around London and out in the country and hasn't had any problem or complaints.

Or even a pair of Fratelli
Hello - got my eye on a new Fratello that has carbon forks.
https://www.condorcycles.com/products/condor-fratello-frameset?variant=37794705539222
Have had carbon forks on ALL carbon bikes but not on a steel frame like this.
Will be riding around London mostly.
Any bad experiences in terms of ride smoothness and endurance of the forks?
Thanks!
