Trying to find a titanium fork for a road bike

[ATN420]

Hi all, I was wondering if ya'll could point me in a direction. Im having a custom ti bike made and am trying to find a ti fork for it. I've checked merlin, litespeed, airborne etc and to no avail. All I can find is steel and carbon forks. Could some one let me know if you come across such a manufacturer. Thanks

Don't know anything about them but here are a couple manufacturers

Any particular reason why you want to go with a Ti fork? I have heard a number of arguments that for a non-suspension fork other materials may be better (one example is http://www.bicycleexoticadirect.com.au/MERLIN/LearnTiMerlin.htm)
Not to say that they are correct

Titanium just sucks when used in a fork. Colnago tried it in prototypes for racers when they started making Ti frames way back in the Rominger days, but nobody like them. They were way too flexible. You could brake and see the blades flexing. Colnago rejected them and went as far as putting steel forks on the Ti frames, before settling on carbon.

Interesting fork, a little on the heavy side though...
