I'm about to fitt my winther bike and cross bike with disc brakes.
The problem is that I can't find any forks that have fittings for disc brakes
Someone have clue where to find that kind of forks ?

I know that Giant sells some of their roadbikes with hydraulic disc brakes.
The mini type. Maybe you can check out what kind of forks they use.

you can probably get a framebuilder (if, et al) to build ya a steel one.
the winwood is reportedly heavy and flexy which was news to me since it was
a fair bit lighter than the if fork it replaced and doesn't feel flexier to
me by any stretch (i weigh ~175).
but you're right, there aren't a lot of obvious options out there.

I've been "about to" do the same thing for a year now...
I found a Winwood:

which was cheapest at Bulltek ($240):

page)
And a Dimension for an absurd $53:

Let me know how it turns out.
