Any of the steel ones:

On One
Kona P2
Pipedream: http://www.pipedreamcycles.com/infinity-rigids/

440-450mm a-c will be fine for quick handling but you may be able to get away with a 29er rigid fork to slacken it off a bit. Talking of which I have a white steel fork on my 29er I am replacing with a Reba this weekend.

Ps I run my 456 at 100mm a lot of the time if you've not tried it that low.

I've run a P2 445 AC on my 456 in the past quite happily.

Got a Kona P2 29er (A-C 465mm) on my 456, works well.

The Pipedream ones are nice and £51 delivered. My Inbred is now sporting a set.

Nelson are they 26r or 29r forks on there.

White also looks good with the pink. But I thought the 26r forks made it too twitchy / nose heavy (as does a 100mm fork).
