I have asked Titan for a frame quote.
I will need to buy a carbon fork.
How do I choose a suitable fork?

    Its a road frame with 700 wheels.
    Would this be suitable

    Assuming the frame has a common 1 1/8 head tube, then it will fit. That's really the only significant variable, otherwise any road fork should fit.

    Rake and axle-to-crown length have an effect on handling, but generally the differences are too small to bother about.

    Depends on what you specify to Titan in terms of headtube type - 1.125" conventional, 1.125" integrated, tapered or 44mm?

    Most road forks are 43-45mm rake so if your headtube angle is in the region of 71 - 73 degrees it'll be fine.

    Ask Titan to recommend a fork.

    Try Kinesis, they have some decent forks to choose from

    Find a fork you like and get them make you a frame to suit - if you're struggling, simply get them to copy the geometry/ design off an existing frame
