Cyclo-cross carbon fiber fork?

I am presently looking for a quality carbon fiber cyclo-cross fork. Any leads would be great.

Thanx CC

Is the one I have, and am quite happy with.

 

Alpha Q makes one. Not cheap, but no question as to quality. Another high end model would be the
Wound Up Cross fork. I use one and it is excellent. Dave "Colin Campbell"

Winwood makes one. I think it is the one that Litespeed uses but I have no experience with it nor do
I know anyone that does. It also looks like it has fender eyelets.
