1 1.8/1.5 carbon forks?
Title is wrong. I meant 1 1/4 lower.
I'm having trouble finding one with a 1 1/4 lower and 1 1/8 upper carbon steerer tube. I want to get a full carbon as opposed to the current with an aluminum steerer.
On that note, how much weight would that shave?

Depends on how heavy your current fork is and how light of a fork you are looking at. Some forks are pigs, a savings of 200g would probably not be unrealistic, but you're going to pay for it.

You may be able to find some Giant TCR forks on ebay. Also Edge makes 11/8-11/4 forks too.
