Quick update on the topic! I put couple of thousand miles on the clock, and the bike is running like a blast! - Braking is good, precise and efficient - cornering is also good, nothing to declare there except at really low speed where it gets a bit hard with the clip-on. - handling is good...

I never read anyting about frame bracing after a fork swap... It make sense obviously as the fork & wheel axle is stiffer, but for the use I will have (which is purely leasure) is it nonetheless compulsory? I would expect such modification for a track oriented project I would say, but I am no...
