That's what I thought when I looked at the bike, the steel fork is over 1kg so @farewell could satisfy his inner weight weenie with a 500g saving while enjoying the real benefit of better ride and handling. Trouble is, all the interfaces are old fashioned; 9×100 axle, IS caliper mount, straight 1⅛ steerer. You'd be throwing good money after bad if you chased down a decent carbon fork in that spec, and if you wanted a proper modern CX fork you'd have to change the front hub, brake and probably the frame too :-)
