What 80mm vbrake fork?

[marker]

I am currently running a 2000 Mars elite and want something better.
What should I look at?
Thought about older sids or modern fork.
Any recomendations?

Z2 X-fly, period correct, light and strong and plush, winstanleys did have them NOS for about 180.

Thanks RTS.
It's for a 93 Merlin so period correct not possible.
Will have a look at Winstanleys now.

if you want modern, check out a 2010-ish Magura Durin SL. I picked one up off Ebay for very reasonable money, replacing a manitou Black SPV and its better in every way. Lighter, stiffer and performs considerably better.

Possible, but stark choice!

Pretty sure it's a 09 Sid race (80 / 100mm, v and disk, motion control, 32mm legs).
