Black sheep cycles make some great ones. They do it pretty much custom so you can order what you like.. They take a lttle time to produce but James will produce them eventually .. He's a small outfit but they are very nice forks.
I think Steve potts does some too... But you might need a big wallet!!!

Be prepared to do a bit of self hair pulling if dealing with james at blacksheep.....

Used to be Ti Project 2. That was many years ago. Try fleabay or Retrobike. No chance of 20mm though, and I don't they'll be new enough to have disc mounts.

if Morati still make them they'd be worth a look - or get a Eastern factory to knock you up a copy
i got an old fork of theirs thats the nuts, these are the guys that made the original Sunn Ti frames which came complete with x-rays of the welds

About five years back I used to have a pair of the On-One TI forks on my Singlespeed. Not 20mm bolt thru but dammed stiff and with disc mounts, only problem with them I suppose is that they had an axle to crown measurement based on the bikes of the time. Again try Ebay or Retrobike I guess.

I just sold a pair on ebay, and are made by a factory I have contacts with still in Taiwan.I might investigate (though I have been drinking, and you'd be best to email me about this).

Yes that's right
Stop picking me I didn't get to bed until 2 this morning after many many beers.....

tails - that fork in your pic looks like it'd be stiff/harsh as fook, even if it was made of cheese. I that's what you want, why titanium ?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Would they be I don't know much about fork construction. Why would they be any harsher than sofakings?

Brant,
Had a pair of those forks a few years back and sold them on the obvious bay, really wish I'd kept them for my Inbred, however I would be very interested in a pair of bolt through rigid Ti forks if they became avail.Posted 2 years ago # -
tails, its a phil wood piss off
Posted 2 years ago # -
john, can you email me about the Jones forks ( i dont have your email addy..) to rockstarracingAThotmailDOTcoDOTuk, id be interested to hear how much you want for them......and im sure they will fit the array of frames im considering....

Saracen used to make Ti forks for their Kili Ultra - I was offered £400 for the forks alone a little while back!
I declined the offer though, they're still on my bike. Very short though (suspension corrected for about 65mm) and non-disc.They're unbelievably bonkers light and surprisingly comfortable but also a tad flexy when pushed hard!

Would they be I don't know much about fork construction. Why would they be any harsher than sofakings?well, if that's a 20mm axle, the legs must be about double that, or at least 35 or so (so somewhere arond a fox 36 stanchion?) - sounds **** stiff to me !
sofaking's look about half that

Wouldn't be interested in selling your On One Ti forks would you?
Missed Brant's forks on ebay but have been looking for some for my original Tinbred for ages...Thanks

JohnClimber,
That's very helpful, my headtube is 120 so that should go, don't you think?
Can you mail me a few pics and your price?
Thanks,
Joop

You do know that the truss fork is designed for a none suspension corrected frame I take it?

You think it won't work cause the Moots is sus corrected? I thought if the ac length is the same as for example a Reba it could work..?

I wouldn't imagine the AC length is the same as a Reba though...
Posted 2 years ago # -
You could try it but I'd imagine the truss fork would be way too short and also has too much offset.
