Anyone know of a 29er fork with a bit of rake in it? similar looks to a surly 1x1 fork or a Orange F8?

Steel or ti??

what clasifies as 'a bit of rake' these days?

and what length do you expect of this 29er fork? as there are many different lenghts available.

Around 45 to 50mm rake and 465 to 480 mm length would be nice 😆

You're describing garyfisher/trek genesis geometry, aren't you? They tend to be about 50mm rake no? So look see if any of their 29ers come with a rigid fork, it'll probably be what you want?

Quite a few 29ers are around a 45-50mm fork. I'm not looking for a fork similar to a stock trek one.

I'm fancying a black sheep but would prefer the looks or a curved rake fork like the surly 1x1 one.

Get James to make a fork when he makes the frame.

I would stu, but can't afford the frame I meant I fancied a Black Sheep fork for my Pace. I suppose they may be able to curve it but thought i'd see what was about first. Looks like not a lot.

IA The karate monkey fork is straight sadly.

Sorry. I missunderstood what you said.
He'd make you a fork to whatever spec you wanted though.

Be warned though he's not always easy to deal with.

Rake/offset are not the same as curved. Even straight forks will have some rake/offset.

If you want something with curved blades then I can't think of anything except the Jones rigid steel forks, which would probably be too short for your needs.
