Does anyone have any experience of this fork? I'm planning (dreaming) the spec a new build, and the Columbus forks seems to have a lot going for them, especially as its in the sales, but I can't find many reviews. I have some Easton EC90 SLX forks on my Van Nicholas, and am very happy with them, although I'm now looking for a tapered fork for the potential new build. How would the Grammys compare with Enve 2 forks, which seem to be the go-to fork for a lot of smaller manufacturers? I'm looking for stiff forks, but only being 65kg in wet kit I'm not going to give too much grief to any forks.

Thanks

    not used the grammy, but the enve 2.0 is excellent

    there are different versions of the grammy (different cf/weight), presumably characteristics will vary, you'd need to know which you are comparing to...

    fwiw i had a columbus minimal fork, heavier than the grammy but similar look, very comfy but understeers badly on hard/fast corners (i'm 77-80kg)

    the enve 2.0 is a bit heavier than the minimal, a smidge less comfy, but dramatically better cornering
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    Just another thrown in there - 3T Funda and Rigida forks are very good. A little bit heavier but they do come with a lot of steerer. Can be had with a lot of discounts if you google - as next year's models have different decals (a lot worse in my opinion).
