I betcha the cost-weight ratio of a Ti fork is what makes it unattractive for use as a fork. Ti is heavier than aluminum, and you only get away with making it lighter by using less of it. I think you can make a CF fork lighter and cheaper than a Ti fork, and since people are weight weenies, the CF fork is what the market gravitates toward.
