    Hi Francis!
    Thanks, my girlfriend likes her ride quite a bit.

    No problems with the fork, the headtube + semi-integrated cane creek has worked just fine. I asked about the headset/fork from BLB, and this is what they answered: “The headset must be zero stack, 44mm diameter (top and bottom) with a crown race diameter of 30.015mm.” That should do it, and to my knowledge the straight Tusk should work fine.

    The only “problems” with the frame was 1) the seatpost tightening, which is a pain in all aero frames with an integrated seatpost clamp 2) one screw was missing from the rear fork steel plates. So you should be fine.
