A few years ago Novarra (REI) marketed a decent looking cast or hydroformed aluminum fork as part of the Big Buzz, it looked pretty nice, accepted a disc but I have no idea how much it weighed and after two years or so dropped it in favor of some unicorn unit of material unknown to me, never saw one in person.
