Integrated fork on ahead frame?

I'm looking to replace my damaged forks and the ones I want all seem to be integrated. Will an integrated fork work with a normal Ahead frame?

Many thanks!

    Yesa it looks a bit odd that's all.

    Look at the Bontrager range as these are for non integrated.

    PM me for more info

    If you shop around you should be able to find some non-integrated ones from the likes of Look, Easton, ITM and Reynolds - amongst others. Integrated forks have a flared crown, so might look odd on steel frame with skinny tubes, for example.

    They dont have to look odd.

    I put a Columbus Tusk integrated on a frame with 1.125 Ahead headset.

    Some headsets flare out more and cover the 'flat' below the crown race on the fork.

    I used an FSA orbit headset and it looks fine.

    Make sure that your bike isn't 1" ahead first. There are very few 1" integrated forks around, most are 1 1/8th.
