29er Rigid forks
I just acquired a Kona Kula 29er frameset. I am building it to do double duty as both a geared bike with front suspension and as a single speed rigid bike. I want to have 2 front wheel and fork set-ups. Anyone have any recommendations for a rigid fork. I have seen the Kona P2 fork and Misfits Cycles makes an ALU one. Past those anyone with experience? I am a fast Clydesdale thats not hard on equipment.

you want steel (vicious cycles, IF, Niner )
or Carbon (White Bros, Pace, On One)
budget?
Edit: I see you are a clydesdale so I would go for Steel. I would steer clear of aluminum.

I'm 240# and my On-One Superlight (steel) is an excellent fork. Of course I did take it off and install a Reba Race, but when it was installed, I rather liked it.
