I saw this in Evans the other day and really liked it 
I'm thinking that alu forks may be more sensible than carbon forks for commuting, just in case I get a twunt of a driver cutting me up and I end up hitting him. Or I drop the bike on ice/snow , etc.
I've also read some things (yes I know) about issues with carbon forks and disc brakes (especially hydraulic).
My main concern is the fitting of mudguards and tyre clearance. Evans was a bit vague about tyre clearance. i.e don't go larger than the already fitted 32's. While i think I can ignore that bit of advice, how easy/hard would it be to fit guards on this bike because of the way that disc brake callipers are fitted.
The thing i love about the board mans is that the brakes are fitted in a way where normal guards and racks can be used.
