and at a greater cost. You will not find or be able to sell an all ti fork for $200-250. Heck, find
a carbon fork with ti steerer tube - kestrel, serotta - now look at the price, ouch! -

framebuilder. Probably a little 'springier' than, say, a Reynolds 531 fork, so good for comfort, and
with reduced weight compared to steel. Heavier than a carbon fibre one, mind, but without the risk
of delamination, and can be repaired, should a bad crash occur.David E. Belcher

Yeah, I think OnOne sells a Ti MTB rigid fork for thier Ti bikes for about £250 here in the UK.
Just read a review of one in a recent MBR.
