I have a 2006 Litespeed Pisgah 26 which I built up with a Fox RL 80 fork. The past few years I've ridden the bike mostly on paved paths and I would like to replace the Fox fork with a carbon fork. I like the look of the carbon forks with stanchions.

I searched a few years ago and their seemed to be lots of product but a recent search reveals a pretty limited choice.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have a look at this thread on STW, its a few years old, but covers what your asking Cheap carbon MTB forks « Singletrack Forum Would also look at brands like Ritchey, although it will be closeout/NOS items now.
