Anybody got a pair of these or are they rare as hen's teeth? Would like to put some on my old p7

Vicious cycles will make you some.....the price will make your eyes water.

At a race a few years ago, someone saw the Ti rigid forks on my Saracen Kili Ultra and offered me £400 on the spot for them! Was very tempted...

Still got the whole bike though, I do occasionally wonder what a retro Ti rigid like that would be worth.

James at black sheep would make you some. When I ordered mine I looked around and there isn't much available.

The Chinese chaps at xacd and Titan will make you some relatively cheaply, though when I asked about ti forks last week the general response was that they would be too flexy

OK, maybe a bit out of budget! Thanks for the responses, looks like a bit more research required.

Didn't On-One make some ti rigids when the original Tinbred came out? Sure they had v-mounts (if you can find a pair).

hen's teeth I'd have thought.

Any I saw/rode were crap too.

Skyde kit is made by XACD, and there's probably a good reason why you don't see that many Ti forks...

On-One Ti forks came with both canti and disk mounts; I seem to recall using them with XTR V's but couldn't handle the squealing. Worked perfectly with BB7's though.

Still got them somewhere (along with the broken Team Ti in the pic).

The Morati forks look lovely. Perhaps I'll just stick some carbon forks on then.
