Does anyone know whether Rock Shox Reba RLT tapered forks would fit in Claud Butler Cape Wrath double disk (2007/8) hardtail or am I looking at a new frame?

new frame - the cape wrath uses a standard 1&1/8 fork with a intergrated headset.

If it's an integrated headset you should be able to get a headset that means they would fit. Ask your LBS or look at CaneCreek/Hope headset guides.

Thanks, it's integrated headset, I think the internal bore is 44mm.
Are there any headset adapters at reasonable cost to allow use of tapered 1.5" forks? Cane Creek / Hope stuff is pricey so I guess I would be better of putting the money towards a new frame.

Any recommendations on where to get some good hardtail frames (I don't mind if they are ex demo / 2nds either)?
