Independent Fabrication Ti crown jewel

My new ride, an IF ti crown jewel. I was sceptical that i would be able to tell any difference between my old ti lynskey as it was simply a frame swap and keeping all the components except a new enve 2.0 fork but after 60 miles its much smoother and feels so much more responsive. Now i need to start to upgrade a few bits

why did you make the swap?
pretty neat looking bike0 -
Could do with a better photo angle and lighting as in that pic it looks a bit ungainly and uninspiring and I'm pretty sure it isn't.Insta: ATEnduranceCoaching

the lynskey had a fault and was going to swap for another one but my heart was set on a IF all along so took the plunge and upgraded to the IF.
The pictures dont do it much justice but it is just bare ti which is never the flashiest of finishes. Will take some tomorrow while im out on it and will post them up0 -
What other forks have you tried and how does thr Enve 2.0. compare ?0

i had a columbus minimal on the lynskey and the enve is the only fork I have had on the IF.
I dont know how much difference the frame has made but on rough surfaces the fork, rather than crashing over potholes etc is so much smoother and vibrations are damped rather than getting road buzz fed to your hands and arms. It feels so much better to the point where on known roads i am looking for the rough surfaces in order to feel the difference!!
if you are thinking of getting an enve fork i would certainly recommend in splashing the extra cash0
