Building Leader 735 BIKE

Hello forum,
This is my first post, and I am a bike newbie. This will be the first bike I have ever built.
Right now I bought a 2013 Leader 735 frame. I really like bianchi's Fork and am planning to buy one off ebay.
here is the link for the fork www.ebay.com/itm/121047355379 MY QUESTION is Will the fork fit into the Frame?
THANK YOU in advance

I'd make sure the axle to crown measurement and rake are comparable to the intended fork for the frame.

I plan on having teal wheels so it might look better, another question is do you know why the fork looks so long? and i heard it's cut-table right?

The steer tube is cut-able, but not the blades. . . if that was what you are talking about.

Go with the teal, you don't want to remove that load bearing decal.

I pulled load bearing decals off of a fork once.

The result?

Yup. Broken face.
