Steel bike forks
Hi, I am building a soma jawbone type B but the only fork that I can find which is steel and with mounts for a rack or anything cage is the surly dinner fork.
Does anyone know of a steel bikepacking style fork with a 50mm rake and 420mm a/c (axle to crown) measurement that is around or preferably below $200 as well as have a tire clearance of around to 27.5x2.4/700x50.
The intended use is gravel racing and possible bikepacking.

All-City has the Gorilla Monsoon fork with 50mm rake, 395 a/c, fender and lowers eyelets, disc brake flat mount, thru axle design. It is heavy, but a nice fork that will fit 27.5x2.4 tires or 700x42. Over your budget I am sure by about 150 bucks.
All-City also has the Space Horse that has 52mm offset, 395a/c, flat mount disc tabs, and fits 650x47 or 700x45. Expect around 300 bucks.

After finding that when dealing with Surly that they live up to the dictionary definition of their name, I don't do Surly.
