About the same as the OP, 63mm travel, 38mm rake and 438.7mm Axe to crown
So any updates? How did it go?
The 425mm rigids are quite more expensive
I love the Tange fork on my Sedona DX.
No bouncing when I am out of the saddle, and the chrome moly fork absorbs buzz adequately. I love the more responsive handling as well... Over-all better stability, and nice ride.
If you want to go rigid, you should try the Tange fork. I also converted a Raleigh MT-500 for a friend with the Nashbar fork, and it works well also... although the last time I looked the Nashbar fork doesn't seem to be in stock.
For looks I prefer the Tamge's more traditional looking fork...
