Long shot - looking for carbon forks, long straight 1/8th steerer disc only

This is my latest toy - half the power of my 20V Turbo Coupe but weirdly just as much fun, its my first ragtop and I quite like it but I think I'm more a coupe person. Only a 1.8 but its a nice engine, pulls strongly in any gear and likes to be revved too.

If you are still looking - this is my unused example with spare spacer https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177020608615

Edit - still looking - 100-120 travel - light and mint, long steerer

True - I’ve abandoned the idea

Yes - I’m in agreement

Tight - but it fits 👍

Tbh - I don’t know yet. If I go suspenders route as light as I can get, but I’m still considering options. Thanks for the reply

Is 27.5 dead already - I thought it was the new standard! Maybe I shoiuld stick to what I know haha

I'm going around in circles deciding on the next build. Frame: 26er singlespeed hardtail, seems to be long travel judging by the 71 degree ish headtube angle which I guess equates to 120/140 suspension corrected. I prefer to keep it 26 for 'purity' but 27.5 opens options particularly regarding...

Edit - just taken some rough frame measurements and given the 70 degree ish headtube angle I think the frame needs 120-140 travel

I like the X2 but it only gives me 5mm

Think I'm going to need more steerer if my maths are correct - 135mm headtube 32mm headset stack height 41mm stem stack height = 208mm min. Thats with CK headset and Thomson stem. Darn

$2500-3000 😬
