I'm in the process of planning out my new ride... I'm thinking Surly Cross Check fixed/singlespeed flip flop, but I think it would be cool to get an Avid disc on the front end. As much for when I'm riding fixed as for off road riding with freewheel. I've seen a few different steel cross disc forks online:
Dimension for $57.00
Winwood for $195.00
Viscious cycles for $200.00
and a few more that run over $300.00
I'd like something durable, but don't want to spend more than $100.00. Is a Dimension fork worth it/durable enough? Are there any more steel disc forks out there for a reasonable price?

disck fork? do not skimp, get a Vicious/IF or something equivalent. You'll want it to be properly aligned well built and to last.

I think I saw that Viscious Cycles disc fork on e-bay. How much did you end up paying for it?

I had zanotticycles.com install the disk tabs for the surly. Sysip powdercoated it for me. I ended up dropping 70 on that fork.
