Sounds like a fun project. I am still up in the air about a rigid MTB fork or a suspension fork. I remember reading somewhere that somebody did a similar build and used a fork with an 1 1/8" steerer in a 1" head tube. I believe it was a mix and match of 1" threadless and 1 1/8" threadless headset parts.
