Chain store schwinn, SX-2000 WSD bike. The suspension fork is a joke. She wants a rigid fork. Steel or alum works, but we're looking to spend ~$50.

With her off the bike, the length from axle center to the crown is 457mm (18in) seated. Putting all of her 110lbs on the handlebar it goes down to ~430mm (17in.)

After a few hours online, I've only found forks under $100 410mm and under, what am I missing?
26" wheels, V bakes, un-threaded.
The fork is branded a SR Suntour.

Oh, she wants chrome colored, but would settle on a black fork, the frame is purpleish. Ah wait, she said lilac, meh.

I'm in the USA, not opposed to ordering online.

Knock yourself out.

Otherwise, get to whatever local shops you have and see what they have. Most shops ought to have a few rigid forks kicking around for you to possibly pick up cheaply.

Thanks for the site, she shook her head at the cost of a fork in the length she'd need. No-go on instore stock for a fork near me, I'll hassle them to call around.

Check the Surly Instigator fork.

Tell her it's her comfort on the bike. Is that not worth spending a couple bucks for, than to rather continue riding a crappy fork???

Unless she's willing to spend a bit more, unless you get lucky with something from a local shop, you're likely SOL. Check e-bay for someone selling something in the right length as well.
