20" Carbon forks?

[rorschandt]

Okay, So I'm seeing these close-out prices for 650 & 700c carbon forks for
like U$50, and my thoughts are "Hmm. Wonder if I could shorten and/or put
brake bosses on those..." What I'd rather find is a decent lightweight fork
for 451 front wheel project bike that doesn't cost so much. There are a few
good deals on some threaded CrMo forks (Power-On Cycling for example)but
I've not seen any aluminum or carbon forks with or without V-brake bosses
in 20". Anyone got a source? This is a LWB, so not much weight will be on
it, like a SWB.

TIA,
rorschandt

Carbon fiber BMX forks are available for mini-BMX bikes. One is the

BMX bikes usually don't use front brakes, so you'll have to figure out
how to mount you own.

Disk brakes would work. Note the fork has a 135 lb weight limit.
Of course that is 135lbs for BMX torture, not road riding. Do you
feel lucky today punk? Well do you?
