Some recent chat on the Oriental Express brought these to my attention that fit the bill.

Other than Hylix I haven't ever found any carbon forks that fit this bill. Second in line if there's a cheap alternative!

Similarly I'm struggling to find a straight 1 1/8th fork with mudguard fittings and decent tyre clearance for long drop brakes. The Columbus Hiver was awesome but seems to have been discontinued.

Yeah it’s tough to find ones in the UK (want to get my hands on it sooner than later).
There is these imported Toseek ones that are being sold from the UK, but I’m not sure if they’re any good... any experience?

Yeah, you are looking for something rare. I've been looking for ages as well, not particularly common to find either.
The Hylix is a cheap option and some people are using it with confidence. If you want a good brand one you'll have to look for Ritchey or Kinesis, but not easy to find second hand.

the previous version of the genesis equilibrium carbon fork was straight, (alloy steerer) post-mount, with 35mm tyre clearance.

I've got a used Lynskey Endurance road fork coming available in about a week (once I get round to fitting a replacement)
1 1/8 Straight, 300mm steerer, decent clearance with guards.
Same as this:

I spent the longest time looking for non-tapered disk fork. Ended up just getting a new frameset.. seems to be a dying standard for disk break forks.
Saying that, I did come across this:

Alloy steerer but might be OK. I have been riding this fork for a couple of years with no issue. Radon Carbonfork 1 1/8" for Disc from bike-discount.de
Hi!
Wanted: non-tapered carbon forks with post mounts, With decent clearance and uncut ( >25cm of steerer if possible), straight bladed if possible.
I am sure someone has one of these knocking about in a cupboard somewhere. Don’t need to be perfect, just serviceable
It’s tough to get ahold of nice non-tapered forks (are they a less stiff dying standard?)
Thanks!
