that may be a first..... are you familiar with concept of N+1?
Where the correct number of bikes you should own is N+1 where N is the current number of bikes you own

I built a Lynskey gr300 with Ti front aero fork. It was from Comeplay. It was $400. It only fits 35c tires and had some issues.
It looks great though and is unique. It has less vibrations than a carbon fork and is less rigid. I have done back to back rides with this fork and carbon.

Ya that’s why I said in the review if you have the tools and are willing to role the dice and make it work then it’s worth it. If you need it bolt and go then it may not work. It really depends on what they ship out lol

Bearclaw Bicycles here in Michigan make some handsome looking Ti gravel forks for $690. Dunno if they do tapered steerers, though.
