Sexy or what ❗
Not sounding good for it having that lovely curved fork :/
I think the fork is a plus point curves ride well and less toe overlap.

It's a nice looking frame, but as a complete bike it looks a bit.......wrong. I'm sure it'll be great for when you can't decide between your touring bike, 29er or CX bike.

As Ben says, looks like the production version will have a straight blade fork ... sadly.
Due in November, looks good. By the time I've enough cash for one, it'll have been discontinued anyway.

Forks are a cantilevered beam and bends make little difference to compliance. Indeed not having to bend the fork can mean you could build a lighter fork.
Toe overlap would be the same straight or curved as offset would be in the crown.
I wanted something like this last winter. I planned on getting in regular post work night rides, but the quieter roads were too broken up for skinny tyres and the off-road was a constant mudbath (got fed up of constantly muddy bike\kit cleaning).
It would give me a better road riding position than the xc bike and pot hole gobbling ability of some fat tubeless road\gravel tyres. I'd go for a dynamo setup so I can forget about charging lights all the time.
Good excuse to build a bike!
Looks like somebody rode it into a wall
That could very well be my next commuter, C2W opens in September again, perfect timing.

pish.
edit : Brant beat me to it and was much nicer about it too.
Bit like a Gryphon? (which incidentally I'm loving). Pleasantly surprised at the difference in handling between it and a Swift. Re: the Tour de Fer, what's 'continental-style handling'?
Any more updates on this? Interested as a CTW commuter/weekend bikepacker.

Veers to the right-hand side of the road.
