I'm talking about the Kona P2/Surly Instigator type forks, not the Carbon ones. I can't seem to find any that don't have the brake bosses welded on, it spoils the nice clean lines see. They have to be compatible for frames that take a 100mm sus fork (I think that's 440mm/445mm dropout to crown).
Anyone come across them?
(or does anyone produce them with removable bosses aka the carbon ones)

On One, aren't those shaped like the carbon ones?, I want Kona P2/Surly Instigator type/shaped ones.

I just fitted a Salsa fork this week. Lovely thing.

I did a 4-hour Peaks ride yesterday which included Blacka Woods and the Stanage Plantation descent. Not wildly harsher than the RC31's I had before, and weighed in at 950g.

Sadly mine have got the studs for v-brakes because I wanted the shorter length (425) and they don't come in disc only.

Exotic forks (found on ebay) - never bought them, but have been tempted.

Oh, I thought the Kona P2s at 440mm/445mm length only came with vbrake bosses?. Is this not the case then?. The link by samuri doesn't state the fork length.

I run some of the longer P2's on a maxlight.
Initially i found it far twitchier in the handling department.

Vicious Cycles do some very nice steel rigid disc forks bit $steep new but can pick then up used - I'm very happy with the mint pair I got off ebay for £75.

I have a mint set of Orange F8 rigid forks off of my P7 if you are interested. 450mm long according to their blurb.

They retail at £59.95 - yours for £30 posted if you want.
