Well, if you're pushing something I guess you'd have to go with a Marzocchi 66-series fork, but I'm not that well versed on suspension goodies these days. It seems pretty rediculous to me though (7" travel, single-crown). I was going to suggest single-speed, but I didn't realize it was a vertical dropout. Chain tensioners make me sad in the pants... so I guess that means single ring up front with a bash guard, or perhaps the Shimano Saint crankset with the dual ring + bash guard. I don't know much about that line though, so it could suck.
