I would go here, 650c straight blade carbon forks won't be that easy to find.

the most affordable option for a 650 steel / straight-blade / drilled / threadless 1 1/8th fork would be to email Tony at IRO and ask to purchase one. The Heidi frame that he sells (or is it called the Mark V HD now?) comes with one. I believe they come in black, red, or blue.
