700c.
Post mount.
1 1/8" straight steerer.
Full carbon would be nice.

And I have seen those dirt cheap alu/carbon ones from the Chinese mainland. The ones with a carbon steerer glued in to an aluminium crown.

Thanks folks.

Is this for a cx bike? If so, I think your options are: Whisky, Spot, and Ritchey WCS. Of those, i think only the Spot has fender eyelets. I have the Spot fork on my 'cross bike; it is nice, a lot lighter than the alloy/carbon old-model Whisky that I used to have.

If you are looking for a road disc fork, I think you are out of luck with a straight steerer.

Anyone know if there is a fork available out there that caters to the following:

1. 700c all carbon
2. Caliper mounts AND disc mount
3. Non CX geo (for road duties up to 28mm tires)
4. weights under 450grams
5. Tapered steerer.

It doesn't matter what axle it runs, can be QR, 10mm TA, 12mm TA, 15mm TA.

Sorry that I dig up an old thread to ask a question, but it's the same title that feeds my question.

Orbea were doing both caliper and DB compatible bikes. Dealers might be able to order one if it suits.
