Integrated Fork on Non-Integrated Frame

[MTBMaven]

Stupid quick question. Are there any issues, beyond aesthetics, with using a fork designed for integrated headset/frame on a bike with a non-integrated headset/frame?

I have a nice Reynolds full carbon fork I would like to use if I get a new frame with a traditional headset.

Nope, not a problem. It'll actually look pretty nice if you run a headset with cups that follow the contour of the fork. I have the same thing going on with an Easton road fork and a standard headset.

Thanks! I got this Reynolds Ouzo Pro full carbon fork on Price Point for super cheap. It is really light too. I would hate to have to buy another fork just because of the headset design.
