Removable V-bosses, and/or a model that is supplied without them?

whatever their merits - they look awful!

Gash.  Not that good value either when you look at the Bonty/White Bros offerings.

Anyway, what was ever wrong with the old triple butted Kona P2's?  About the best rigid fork around they were.  Can you still get 'em?

Hmm, lighter than the Bontrager forks, but without the weight limit of Pace forks; V-mounts for those who might want them; post mounts, meaning I can ditch the adapter on my Avid brakes, saving even more weight....

Does anyone know where I could get a fork like they have on the 2005-2008 Marin Point Reyes?

It is a carbon fork for disk brakes and not straight, but more like a road fork.

re carbon mtb road type fork.

 hmm not sure about the exact fork but it looks similar to this

http://www.tokenproducts.com/05htm/products.php?pc1id=11

by token, this swedish guy was using a set and raved about them, they are full carbon (steerer everything), and look like a road/cyclo fork but are rated for light xc use as well, and come with disc mounts..

I spent ages looking for the lightest mtb carbon fork i could find.... i thought about getting a pair but at over £200 from the only distributor in the UK.... too rich for me.

 ended up with some rc31's they were awesome!

447g? No thanks....besides which, they're 410mm long i.e. not suspension corrected. Those token forks be a good way of adapting an old MTB as a commuter, but I wouldn't touch them otherwise.
