Rigid 26er fork options for rim brakes, brazeons
I have a Soma Groove (26er hardtail, set up with V-brakes) on a SID100 and want to go rigid for commuting. On paper, the Surly Troll fork looks great: canti bosses, hella brazeons, proper A-C length, black matches my frame...) but it's been out of stock everywhere for ages. And restocking keeps getting pushed back.
I want to run a front rack, so the mid blade brazons are important. I want more than 2" of tire clearance (2.5" is ideal, more don't hurt!) and I want to stick with rim brakes (so I can reuse my calipers, wheels, etc).
Short of going custom, do y'all have any suggestions?

It's a very specific set of needs that is not really at the intersection of anyone else's stuff. Try the Surly trader group on Facebook?
