Budget fork wanted

Hi All.
I'm looking out for a cheap fork for a bike that I'm building up with cast offs.
It is a 20" frame so will need to have a long'ish (220) 1-1/8 steerer, 9mm QR and around 100mm of travel.

Anyone thinking about an upgrade and will want to get rid of their old fork?

Mail me

Cheers
Tony

what price you looking at?

Seen as I can get a basic Rockshox for around $130 I was hoping for something like a Recon or older Reba for less than $100 although I can't resist a bargain if something good was offered.
Cheers

Tony,

I've just replaced my commuter so I have a 2006 Reba Race I can sell you for $50 if you are interested. It originally came off a 20inch Giant frame so the steerer should be long enough. It has the remote lockout too. I also have a bunch of other stuff (bars , 26in wheels, seatpost, stem etc) for sale too if you need anyhthing else. I just haven't gotten around to posting an ad yet. If you're interested let me know.

Edit: Just measured the steerer, its 205mm long
