“Retro” bouncy forks…what’s worth looking at?

Thinking about possibly swapping the rigid forks on my Surly single speed build for something bouncy but not 100% on what’s worth a look

1 1/8” straight steerer
100mm travel
Currently on 100x9mm QR
27.5 wheels with 2.35 rubber

Not even sure if this is classed as retro

Happy to buy used and factor in the cost of servicing if need be

Preference held to Rockshox forks as that’s what I’m used to but open to any suggestions from anyone else

What’s worth looking at for a decent front fork?

Many thanks in advance, folks

Reba would be the go-to for me. Serviceable and plenty of them kicking about on eBay.
