WTD: (cheap) Bits to complete semi-retro hack build!

[LeroyOfTheRovers]

Hi all,

I'm making a semi-retro build! Wello, actually it's a bike to drag my kids around on, but it is a '98 DBR Axis, so I need semi-retro stuff (like shortish rigid forks, and v- wheels!)

Can anyone help me with the following? I'm in Bristol.

forks
- 1 1/8" ahead
- 220mm + steerer
- rigid
- v or disc mount (or both, not too fussy)
- around 400mm axle-to-crown length

wheels
- rear v-brake & 8/9spd shimano cassette compatible
- front ideally disk & v compatible, to give flexibility in front braking.

shifters
- 9spd, Shimano compatible RH shifter
- LH shifter would be good. Doesn't need to match the RH one (could even be an old thumbie!)

Cheers,

Leon

I have a LH Rapid fire shifter pod that you can have for 6 whole pounds posted, it's either STX or Alivio IIRC
