Surprisingly all three forks have the same rake, the only difference is axle to crown length. The Colnago and stock fork handle essentially the same, I just don't like the way the stock fork looks. The Steamroller fork was a little more comfortable but definitely a chunk heavier.

I was curious if the materials felt different. But from what you're saying, I gather that the weight made it difficult to notice anything else?

For 2019 I'm putting together an alu frame (Dodici Gara) and flat-crown steel fork with 32c's. In my mind, a poor man's ctrack with generous rubber :D The fork I'm using is a steamroller lookalike with only 350mm a-c, as opposed to 375 (I think) on the 9/8" 'roller. The rake should be the same afaik.

I was actually just a few seconds away from purchasing the Thunderdome frame for this project a couple of years ago. If you have a skinny fork you need to get a frame with EC headset, or it'll just look silly. Ended up with the Dodici as they closed shop and had good deals on the final stock.

I also see you've gone with the prettiest black seatpost there is <3 No wonder this went in my favorites a while back.

oh whoops I misread your question. I don't have an up to date weight with the risers and zipp stem, but at Update 2 it weighed 17.8 lbs / 8.07 kg without the bottle cage. I imagine it's around that area still, with a slightly heavier seat but lighter stem.
