Mate is building one of the above up and can get his hands on some 120mm forks. I was thinking 140mm originally - anyone know if 120mm is enough? Cheers.

They originally came with 80mm Manitou SX IIRC,but he'd probably be ok with 100mm.

The original actually came with RS381's with 80mm of elasometer boing. I know as I still have a 1998 model.

I laterally ran the same frame (Rift Zone) with MZ 130's 😉 They can take a surprising amount of beating.
