I had some IT Nixon's on my Hummer, which I changed for some used TALAS forks that worked pretty well. Although found I used the travel adjust less and less and wasn't convinced by their small bump response, so have just converted these to 130 Float spec. So far, loving them 🙂

Alternatively, RS Rev's are plentiful in the classified's and the 140's I have on my FS are suiting me and the bike beautifully.

There are the old Rock Shox Pikes and the newly reintroduced ones this year. The old ones stopped being made around 2009 or so. Best bet would've a set of Rock Shox Revelations. Many are tapered steerer and 15mm axle now, but you might find some a couple of years old that suit your needs. Seem to go for decent prices too. You should find a good set for £200 to £250.
