Donhou Build - Continental inspired

Tester, if I was to copy and paste your comment and send it to Tom would he be able to put what you are talking about in to practice considering the tubes are probably already in the workshop?

Yes, as long as no tubes have been cut yet. Compared with using a road fork, the head tube will end up a bit shorter and the down tube a bit longer and more steeply raked. May need a new head tube if you haven't already gone for one with a 44mm internal diameter.
