Go with the Pike. From what you described, it seems like one of the best choices I can think of.
p.s. Don't mess with Killer B. I heard he has 5 bikes!

bwahahaha.
on topic: if buying used "older" forks is a consideration, the 03-04 marz z1s were great freeride single crown forks (although kind of heavy).

in the pics you guys have posted, I'm not wasting my

makes you all feel better... Ha Ha

Oh...BTW...I have a Pike 454 Dual Air that I had on my Coiler a while ago (it's now sitting in the garage waiting for a bike to be built around it)...it's an amazing fork...light, stiff, tuneable, 20mm axle and I got it new in the box off eBay relatively cheap.

Until you starting saying that, Saints on a bike w/ 80mm Suntour is niice

Remove, repack, re-tighten.
A day and a half later the creaking is back.
