...There's a good reason why stuff like that don't exist any more...
Then this might interest you.
Suspension forks that weigh 1 kilo are worth a look.

Mrs M's day-to-day town bike is a 96 or 97 Karakorum in dark blue speckle pattern. It's a very easy ride. There's a Flexstem in the shed, too, still attached to a Raleigh frame.

Wow, memory lane indeed!
Anyone remember Quasar forks? They were a bit like the Girvins. Remember the guy trying to sell some to the shop I used to work at
Hi Franki, that was probably me, hopefully your shop didn't buy any?
I posted a load of Quasar related stuff over on Retrobike if anyone fancies a look:
Although my proudest moment was getting them into Mint Sauce (Hi Jo!)
I can't match epicyclo's collection of forks (the ultra rare Look's are particularly impressive) but I can offer a pair of Lawwill Leader 3's:

..but I can offer a pair of Lawwill Leader 3's:I've been keeping an eye out for a set of those for years - those are hen's teeth jobs.

I thought you might like those
Not strictly mine as I have them on 'long term loan' from a chap that used to run a bike shop and had them tucked away for years.
You can tell they were intended for the 'downhill' market as they clock in around 4lbs and certainly provide a solid feel. There's a ton of stiction on them (or compression damping) and they rebound with a bit of a top out clunk but the action in between is pretty smooth.
I'm now running that bike as fully rigid with the original pair of Project Two's as the bike feels better balanced that way. Strangely when I rode it as pictured in the Enduro 6 a few years back I got more comments for riding a single speed and not one mention of the weird fork it had on!
The whole think might end up as a hotrod/retro project eventually, we'll see - I'm half tempted by a pair of the A forks for another bike too. Good luck with your search if you're still after a pair!
