help...120mm sus fork corrected rigid options?...29ers?

[dablk]

Thinking of putting a rigid fork on my 2007 Cotic for going out with the little one.

Its a 100-120mm max fork frame and my back likes it better in 120 these days.

Salsa Quote
445 atc for 26" (100mm sus corrected).. so need a bit more
468 atc for 29" (80mm fork but on a 29" which should be about right for 120mm 26" if a bit too long. )
Needs to be 1 1/8" straight (which is getting harder to come by).

Any better new options actually available or s/h whats worth hunting down?

i'm thru 16 stone so probably not thinking cheap carbon.

Re:

The exotic forks (aluminium or carbon) come in 465 and 490mm axle to crown.

That's what I was looking at for mine but ended up buying a whole bike instead (as you do )

Re:

Just sold a Surly 1x1 fork which at 453mm would be pretty good, they are decent forks.
