[Closed] Would it be weird to put Kinesis CX forks on a Genesis IO?

I have the frame and forks (separately) and am throwing around the idea of a mongrel build with a 700c alfine wheelset as a commuter. Would this throw the steering geometry way off? I'm going to go do some measuring.

edit: this would make it like a Day One right?

It is rated up to 120mm forks (which I have on mine) so you should be fine

It will help drop the BB again after putting 700C on and the HA won't get too silly for a 700C bike, it'll be within CX-road bike geometry range. SA may get a bit steep though. Try it..
(assuming the CX forks are ~400mm that is)

400mm a2c on fork, hadn't thought about SA, just steering geo. Ordered the wheel so project is go. This should be interesting.
