OP is asking about 1-1/8" head tubes not 44 mm, right?
I know you said you also don't like segmented forks on road bikes but I feel like mine came out quite nicely and the ride is very good. Does not feel overbuilt at all. The tapered fork blades help with the proportions vs some other segmented forks I've seen on road/cx bikes. |

That Swan does look pretty good. Do you know what that fork crown lug is called and where it's sourced? What size tires do you run with that frame?

that's a modified fork crown. Swan does that a lot. I asked him which crown he starts with usually, but he's keeping that to himself.

anywhere up to a 38c tire works in this frame. i usually run 25's though.

Making it "beefier" to fill the aesthetic gap might make it heavier or stiffer than it needs to be....so bear that in mind. There's no free lunch.
And our aesthetic standard changes over time. This used to be acceptable at one point : But now...you get ridiculed if you don't at least follow this template, nevermind the fact that they all looked more or less the same :

Don't think I'd be physically capable of riding either of those bikes above.

Resurrecting an old thread! I was wondering if the owners of these bikes can confirm if the steerers are 1-1/8? Also, nice bikes!

Here's a Columbus MAX fork we did for a Moots frame - looks pretty balanced, imho:

Agree, the tapered HT does a much more fluid/aesthetic looking transition. I have one 44 straight, and it is bright green which makes it even more noticeable. Also, the Linskey [tapered HT Helix] I just got I used the CC 40 but used the tall tapered top HeadSet bearing/cap. It makes it even more fluid looking that my Pro-CX Mongrel with tapered HT and standard flatish bearing/cap.

Dang that's nice! Are those two different Bob Jacksons, or is that color correction?
Also, who made the fork? |

I'd try. Should be obvious which one the crash would be from altitude though...
