I found a Trek Cruiseliner frame and fork for cheap, and built it up with a Nexus 8-speed hub. It is a great bike, but the fork is bent back and to the right, so I've gotta replace it. I'd also like to put a disc brake up front, and be able to use the stock fender, which is 2.5" at it's narrowest point.
Here is a link to the bike:

Here are a few forks I've found:

Pros: Cheap, has fender eyelets, brake bosses could maybe be used to hold a rack.

Pros:Same as above, but less cheap, cro-moly

Pros: Made to work with racks and fenders, fits up to 2.7" tires
Would a suspension corrected fork be bad since this bike never had suspension, and the original fork probably isn't corrected for it?
