What are my options for a carbon road fork that will accommodate a 32mm tire? Going on an all city mr pink (I think the steel fork is sexy as hell) but for those times when your Trying to look fast ;). Just trying to know my options so when something pops up I'm ready. Thanks

If you go disc...Niner, whisky...
For Canti/v brakes, winwood works on my merlin cross bike, can accommodate up to 38-40 mm no issues.
For caliper brakes, steel is the way to go. I have no idea.

Wound up commuter is one although spendy
Bontrager Satellite Plus would be another(usually cheap if you can track one down)
There is also Seven made to order and also spendy

Others that will fit a true 30-31 but 32 is iffy
Alpha Q CSS-25 - hard to find
Co-motion carbon - also hard to find
Columbus Hiver

The Bontrager Satellite Plus carbon fork fits big tires and uses a 57mm reach side pull caliper brake for 700C wheels. I used one on my Surly Pacer 650B conversion. It has a wide alloy fork crown, so "Fatties Fit Fine". The axle to crown is a bit long, so keep that in mind.

These are fetching a premium now, but it's one option to consider.

There's a new one on ebay right now (no, not mine): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bontrager-Carbon-Fork-700C-/201748002187?hash=item2ef91e358b:g:cUsAAOSwnHZYTxK 0

I'd jump on that one ;-)
