I'm thinking (dreaming) of building up a Dialled Prince Albert.
I know it takes a 120-140mm fork but looking for advice on what to get.
Ive only got 100mm Silver TK Recons (brand new) that I'll sell to put to.
What would you lot recommend? Budget with be £200 max.
Ran 140 Fox vanilla on mine.
Had 140mm revs on mine...
Never really had any Fox forks, I'm thinking maybe try and pick up some pikes/revs?
Neither of you still got the PA? Mind if I ask why?
Pikes
do the recons not adjust up to 120mm by removing a spacer?
@MoseyMTB
I can't ride a hardtail for long now with my back condition, and the frame was just sitting there, so sold it on to a new home.
Only went this week, but regret it already!

Not sure cruzheckler, LoCo any idea?
Think for the Dialled I'd want something beefier than the Recons.
Menjas are good...
Tom that looks awesome. Don't think I can resist the Kawasaki green this time.
Gutted I missed out on the 15.5 on here a while back.
Pikes on mine, they seem to suit it well. Personally I think I'd find it a bit steep on anything shorter.
Really great bikes though, lots of fun and pretty well indestructible which was an important consideration for me.
I had 130 revs on mine. Top handling bike.
Recons can go to 120mm depending on spec. (O.E e.t.c)
Got rid of the Albert to make way for something new, still miss it, you're right about wanting something a bit stiffer on the front as the it will encourage you to ride like a T*%T 
Well the Recons are brand new so I'll eBay/classified them and maybe try pick up some Pikes.
I ran coil sectors on mine, and very nice they were as well.
Currently using Fox Float 150's, changed from Pikes only because I got a stupid good deal and fancied something lighter. Pikes were fine though and a good choice for s/h as they're pretty bombproof.
I'm really pining now. Best get onto mike and see what 15.5 frames he has left if any.
130mm Bombers were ace
Then swapped to 145mm Nixons which suited it perfectly.
Old 120 Marzocchi's on mine,
Great handling bike, love it, loadsa fun
The green is great
Would like to try a longer fork
can't decide between the green and the orange. What shade is the orange in comparison to say a blue pig or a soul?
I tried mine with old (long) 130mm marzocchis and 125mm fox vanillas which the frame was originally designed around. I definitely preferred it with the 125s, much more lively and fun.
Another set of pikes here 
Pikes here.
The orange is gorgeous Mosey. I have one and bizarrely the colour reminds me of the cabin of a lifeboat. There's a subtle pearl/metallic effect to it too.
I've got some Fox F120s on mine but I'd like to upgrade to something longer and stiffer. Does anyone rate Marzocchis? They seem a lot cheaper than the likes of Fox and Rockshox, are they that much worse?
I ran mine with 140mm floats but i reckon the extra stiffness of a fork like the Pike would be better. If i'm completely honest i only really changed it for a Dialled Alpine because i liked the colour of the Alpine more (my PA was grey)...
Mate has an Orange PA and we both have green Alpines, IMO the green is nicer but you wouldnt go wrong with either.
ha Earl_Grey what a brilliant example and even more brilliant i know exactly what you mean!
Arrrgggh then Burchy1 steps in and makes me think i like the green too again!
U-turns 85-135 but they never go below 115, usually up around 130.

Definitely this. (But orange is best 
)
Edit: I'm now wondering if i should start looking for navy blue bits to complete the lifeboat image.
For the money I think you'd be hard pressed to wrong with Pikes.
Sektors on mine:

Also ran 145mm 20mm Nixons. Nixons are burlier, but Sektors are U-Turn so I tend to run them a little lower for local riding.
Frame is up for sale too - my new frame should be arriving today. Actually, I could do a great F&F deal with the Manitous...
Edit: New frame here. PA is up for sale.
Earl_Grey - Member(But orange is best)
**cough** green! **cough**
Both are v.nice colours.
pimp what size frame is it? and what year model?
Marz AM4s, then coil Pikes, now air U Turn revs. Best at 130-140 for general trails and wind down to 110 for the climbs.
Pics before and after the WHW. Great frame very capable. Love it in orange
130 u-turn revs on mine. Very happy.
A prince albert?? Eww no thanks 
.
I've got Revs 140mm on mine but they came off my old bike. If I was having to buy it'd probably be Sektors 110-150(?), my friend has these and they seem excellent. The u-turn allows different frame choice in the future as well...
