    :/ I am building a Lynskey titanium road frame but am having trouble sourcing a suitable non-integrated 1″ 1/8
    set of carbon forks.
    Can anyone suggest a suitable fork that won’t cost the earth?

    Integrated and non-integrated
    Integrated and non-integrated forks are interchangeable – it’s just that the integrated fork has a flared crown to match up with the headtube. If you use a integrated fork with a regular headset, it matches up with the lower headset race anyway as they’re both similar size.

    I think that most
    I think that most “integrated” forks will work with a non-integrated headset, but not visa versa. The problem might be appearance, but the crown race headset cup of a headset like an FSA Orbit II XL flares out quite a bit and looks OK.

    They’d look pretty special on a Lynskey.
