I just got a nice gift of a free frame and headset to build a winter bike, but no fork. They are matched just fine, but I don't understand whether there are specific forks for integrated and semi-integrated assemblies. Not the least that I don't know ...
Other than the possible mismatch of diameters (esthetic flaw, perhaps, maybe functional), are forks specifically different for each style of headset ? It's a typical threadless 1 1/8" form.
Thanks for enlightenment.

Nope. Cambria (using Easton's own marketingspeak) advertises EC70 forks with "1 1/8' carbon threadless suitable for either Integrated or Non-Integrated head tubes" Note that these forks are bulkier than, say, a reynolds non-integrated fork at the steerer tube junction, but not as bulky as a reynolds integrated model.
