If anybody is looking for a rigid CF fork for their folder/'bent, I have provided a link to a company that now a makes a rigid CF fork for 20" wheels. Please do not accuse me of being a schill for the company as I have absolutey no ties to them what so ever.

This fork did not exist 6 months ago. The disc brakes were the biggest hang-up. I searched high and low without success. I originally contacted this company to build a fork for me to which they replied they could but for $600 and a 3-4 month wait. I declined. I then bought one of their 26" MTB forks off of eBay and modified it for 20" use. This was on my bike for about a month.
They recently re-contacted me stating they could now make me a fork for a more reasonable $300. This is the fork I now have on my Swift folder. A schill wouldn't be paying that much for a fork. The quality is very good and the ride is very nice although I don't really care for the graphics which are clear coated over and cannot be easily removed.
Fortunately for you they now have this fork available on their web site. They sell their other forks on eBay at a very reasonable price but I don't know if they are offering the 20" fork.
