Did you ever ride this frame with a steel fork? I'd like to hear your opinion on the carbon fork upgrade. Thanks!

You know what I never actually did. I owned the fork on my leader 722ts before purchasing this frame and when I did I just transferred the fork.
As for my opinion on carbon forks. They are worth it in my opinion. The carbon absorbs the shock of the road making for a smoother ride plus the front end is wii bit lighter in the end because of it.
Over all Steel w/ carbon fork is one of the most smooth and durable material combinations you can have for a street build

Steel forks ride great too though. Honestly its just aluminum forks that I would avoid.

I saw this bad boy on Reddit. Looks really good. I may have to go with a similar colour when I powder coat my frame in a couple of months.

Did you have to modify your fork at all to fit properly? the specs say 1" steer tube but a lot of the CF forks I'm seeing are 1-1/8"

My Mataro and Pake had 1 1/8" forks. The kilo is 1" and has a 1" steel fork inside it
