Advice required non-integrated road forks

 7 I am building a Lynskey titanium road frame but am having trouble sourcing a suitable non-integrated 1" 1/8
set of carbon forks.
Can anyone suggest a suitable fork that won't cost the earth?

Integrated and non-integrated forks are interchangeable - it's just that the integrated fork has a flared crown to match up with the headtube. If you use a integrated fork with a regular headset, it matches up with the lower headset race anyway as they're both similar size.

I think that most "integrated" forks will work with a non-integrated headset, but not visa versa. The problem might be appearance, but the crown race headset cup of a headset like an FSA Orbit II XL flares out quite a bit and looks OK.

Burls sell titanium forks. http://www.burls.co.uk/shop/forks-c-125.html

They'd look pretty special on a Lynskey.
