Preferably a nice steel rigid fork. I had my sights on a Kelly, but they're not in business at the moment. :(
Looking for something with an A-C length of about 441 mm.
I'd also consider an 80 mm sus fork with some sort of anti-pedal-bob thingy.
Who's got something they want to get rid of???

I have a never ridden Instigator fork with specs as follows. The steerer has been cut for a large frame with a lot of spacers so fit shouldn't be a problem, starnut is installed, and there is a chip on one of the legs from moving it around my shop. speedgoat want's $100 new for one. i'll send you mine for $75 shipped (if in the continental US) It's a nice looking fork. Gotta love straight blades.

• Suspension corrected for 100mm fork
• thick-walled, single-butted 4130 cro-moly tubing
• 51mm International Standard disc tabs
• Canti/linear-pull brake studs
• Powdercoated black finish
• 2.7-inch tire can fit
• 447mm axle to crown height
• Steerer: 260mm threadless
Surly designed this fork around the geometry of the Surly Instigator, and around that madcap "dare you to try that" attitude, so it can take whatever abuse you can dish out. Big tires up to 2.7" are welcome, and the fork features tapered (31.8mm to 28.6mm) blades.

I have a new Zion disc-only, straight-bladed rigid fork.
The axle to crown is 457mm and it's actually pretty light.
I got it from www.jensonusa.com of course.

Thanks Kraut, but I need something corrected for 80mm. I think I'm going to get a Vicious...if they ever get in stock at BTI, that is.

As for your spec, the Surly fork is only 6mm off the crown height you were after. i guess that's a little over a half a centimeter which is around 4/10 of an inch more than you'd need.

Yep, so it is. I guess I should have kept reading after the '100mm' part. :o
If my hopes for the Vicious fall through I may be in touch.
