carbon road forks for non intergrated headtube

ok, so theres these......http://www.cyclingmailorder.co.uk/columbus-1-18-non-intergrated-minimal-fork.html

and these....http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270851962652?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

besides them , what else is there. ? ive googled and googled some more. would appreciate any help.

The columbus minimal is a highly rated fork. If money is no object then AX Lightness forks and THM forks are designed for use with non integrated headsets. You buy an additional cap to use them with integrated frames.

The other question is what headset are you going to use? If it's the forum favourite King, then because of the massive bottom cup you can get a reasonable transition into an integrated fork like an Enve or 3T .. Look at Baum pictures of the fork transition area to see what I mean or the pic I've edited in of a Bob. My non integrated Enigma I used a Tune headset and the transition to an Enve fork is near perfect.

those ax and thm are way out of my budget, my frame will cost less than either of those. nice as they are.

problem is the columbus ones are unavailable anywhere until january and knowing what distros and factories and suppliers are like probably febuary/march before i see em. but would be pretty much perfect.

would they look ok on something fillet brazed ?

youd be wanted something lugged with those , nice as they are.

it's not fillet brazed but a smooth weld nonetheless
