Got the frame & now need the fork,been looking at a steel Surly Karate or a carbon Exotic one,but really can't make my mind up.Wanted to keep it all steel but read a few reviews on the Karate & everyone reckons it's stiffer than MJ...
If anyone has tried either of the above (or any others worth considering) your imput would be very much appreciated ......

Fanx in advance 😕

Salsa do a nice-looking one. Fairly cheap too, IIRC.

Yeah second the Salsa. Based on a suggestion on a previous thread I bought the Salsa cromoto fork (mines the 26" version). It's really nice for just under £70. They do a 29" version as well which sounds like the sort of thing you need.

I'd go with the O-O carbon. I've ridden the Superstar (same as Exotic?) and steel Salsa. The O-O is by far the comfiest. Second choice would be the Salsa.
