Seeing as most of you guys are running Rigid SS's, I figured this is a good place to ask. What is your rigid fork of choice? I want to convert my bike to a commuter/road bike. I got skinnies today. Anyways,

What is your favorite rigid fork? I don't care about the whole carbon fiber market, because I don't need to spend that kind of money. I've already pured enough money into my bike :D. I will be running a 7" with a Shimano SLX hydro on it, so it needs to be strong. I don't expect to be jumping of doing drops over 12 inches with it. Keep it under $200.

Thanks!!!
 
dude this decision has kept me awake tossing and turning for a few days already. I am on the wall too, but here are some of my serious contenders. BTW I am building also a commuter/ trainer with skinnies 26x1.25 and don't wanna buy a whole new "fixie/ss" bike (not enough room with 8 bikes already).

the goal is a lower front end not less than 410mm not bigger than 425/430mm.

dimension rigid 410mm $65
surly 1x1 413mm $53
salsa cromoto 425mm $100 (expensive)
origin 8 cromo-lite 430mm $65
on-one cro-moto 420mm $62 plus the $28 shipping from uk

hope it helps
