Thanks for the offer. I live in Las Vegas, NV. Always happy to help with someones extreme boredom. I scoured Las Vegas and Los Angeles CL today, also eBay and the entire internet. I have been reading a lot about this stuff the past 2 days and I need a fork that will equal the approximate height of the suspension fork, so I don't change the geometry of the bike too much. For this bike that is approximately 435mm axle to crown. Turns out, that specific axle to crown length is very difficult to find. I have found a few new ones that are pretty close for not a ridiculous amount of money, but most of them are way too short or way too long or are road forks with only caliper brake mounts, etc. My order for the other fork has not been officially canceled so I don't want to order anything new until I hear back from Universal Cycles about my order. But once that happens, I will probably just buy one from an online retailer, so I can make sure I get one with the proper height.

In other news! I did a mock-up with the rear drop-out and the 700c wheel I have on my FG/SS bike and it fits perfectly with the 23mm tire and there is plenty of room to go wider. I almost bought a set of 26" wheels off CL today, but I think I am going to hold out for a 700c set instead.

If I can get the fork/wheels situation figured out, it will be a sweet ride.
