so, i would *not* go with a surly fork, cause they have huge clearances, and that's not what you want.

finding something to match your bike exactly will be exceedingly difficult.

www.bikecult.com - bike works in nyc - has a chrome, threaded, drilled, thin-legged fork that many people use. it looks nice.

if i were in your shoes, i'd go with the Soma fork, for simplicity. black matches everything.

you could also talk to a framebuilder to replicate your current fork. many framebuilders, though, don't do small jobs.

you could also get a clamp-on front or rear brake. www.trackstarnyc.com sells a rear brake, i believe.
