you want something fancy?
I hope it doesn't come down to this for you, but....
here in the states, we have a number of standard forks form the likes of Performance and Nashbar. I'm not even looking, but i'm sure they have it.
ok here's one
http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product_10053_10052_174979_-1_201511_10000_200456i've used this one before:
http://www.performancebike.com/bikes/Product_10052_10551_1032950_-1_1511003_1511000_400206I would not consider any of these forks an upgrade, or even any thing other than a simple replacement. Mine work for a commuter, but i didn't like hammering on it.

As mentioned by others, EBay is your best bet.
There are some Alpha-q forks knocking around on US EBay
Reynolds Ouzo Pro

Description says also available as integrated, which suggests they come in both?? -

I think you want a 38mm crown diameter and not a 45mm crown diameter. Hope that helps.

these are the ones I had up for sale which you were interested in but were too short:
I was looking for ages for the same thing, a non integrated 1 1/8 and this was the best I could find for relatively cheap. Its a 'no-brand' fork and doing a google search doesnt get much, although there are a couple of ppl on forums who mention it as ok. I have had no problems with it at all, and its fully carbon so you'll need to get a fork bung thing. Hacksawing it was no problem either just stuck some masking tape over the edge and cut through that, idea was to keep it from cracking..
anyways, good beatery fork, looks cool which is the only thing that is important.

leader carbon forks http://www.tokyofixedgear.com/productdetails.asp?productid=01066
I've been scouring the web for the last few days for Carbon Forks. I've found loads that I like the look of, but they all seem to be for integrated headsets.
I've read a fair bit of info on here, and I'm aware that you can use integrated forks on an external (normal) headset, but by doing so, you will have a gap between the top of the fork crown, and the bottom of the headset . I'm trying to find out if there are still non-integrated Carbon Forks available.
As the title suggests, I'm looking for 1 1/8th road forks, with 40-45mm of rake. Preferably around, or below the £100.
If anyone can suggest anything, I'd be very grateful.
Cheers,
Jamie.
EDIT: If anyone has anything for sale (steerer length of about 250mm) that would be awesome!
