Sus Forks for Rock Lobster, which ones?

[cycletothesea]

Bought this Rock Lobster off eBay recently. I'm a lover of full rigid bikes, just like the geometry. But thought I'd try something a bit bouncier on this one. However, don't really know anything about Suspension forks, which ones are best, or the differences between the way they work etc.

Can anybody recommend a brand/model of forks that would complement this frame? Something appropriately retro (late 90's I think). And most definitely NOT super-spec, long-travel, expensive types. Just something solid, reliable, good-looking and was well thought of BITD.

Re:

That frame looks newer than that, I'd guess at 2005+ judging by it having no rim brake bosses.

Looks nice though 853 tubes- nice!

Maybe look for am 80mm fork, you could probably get a nice RS SID for older Fox?

Re:

I had one of these - lovely riding frames. You can't beat the zing of 853.

I have run P2s, Bomber Z1s and RS Dukes. Any 100mm fork will be fine.
