The frameset actually came with a carbon fork but the fork was too long since it was intended to replace a suspension fork with 100mm of travel. I found that green fork on CL and it's branded as a Trek System 3 butted cro-mo fork and was made by Tange. It actually weighs about 100 grams LESS than the carbon fork! IIRC the steel fork weighs about 790g which is pretty darn light.
