Titanium forks?

My apologies if this topic has been covered already in other threads, I tried a search already (with no success).


I've spent the past few months building my “dream mountain bike” . My designs for it have been uncompromising so far and have been limited only by my spare time and the time it takes to save for the choice parts to build it with. I have had some difficulty however in finding a titanium fork to go with my ti frame that I purchased as NOS on ebay. I have ridden a few bikes at my LBS with hydrolic/suspension front (and some soft tails also) and I like the solid feel of the old school fork better. I prefer simplicity in a bike and the suspension is too ‘squishy‘ and seems like more trouble and maintenance than the regular one piece fork would be. A mechanic at my LBS told me that Titanium MTB forks do exist, but he said that he wasn't sure who still made them or who he could order them from. I've been looking on ebay with no success and nashbar.com doesn't appear to carry them either.


Any suggestions? (or sellers?)
