I would also like to get a rigid fork without either spending as much as a suspension fork or getting one that weighs more than a suspension fork. Those are the two items I don't have laying around, which are both crucial to any bike build and also two of the most expensive components to a bike build. The fork that came with the frame is in bad shape. I could buy some replacement springs/elastomers for the fork and use it but for this type of build, I would prefer a rigid fork. So, I'm looking at a good chunk of money, which I don't mind spending, but I want to weigh all options before I take the plunge and there are so many options and variables, it's a little overwhelming.
