you guys can help too.

1)rigid fork
2)singlespeed
3)250 or less.
4)used if 250 is too low.
5)mtb/cyclocross/def. not road bike/

EDIT:I dont plan on putting on any cargo things, what do you guys do with backpacks? ( dont say put it on ur back ) I wanna keep my back healty. Maybe i can wear it on my front. Or hang off of my front handlebars frame side.
