Suggestions For Rigid 1 inch Threadless Fork

Need help finding a rigid 1in threadless 26er fork for a vintage mountain bike build. Working on a 1996 (I believe) Bianchi and I can only seem to find 1 option on Ebay. Anyone know of a good place to look for something like this? I could always replace the headset with a 1in threaded, but I'm trying to avoid it.

Big long threaded fork and cut off the threads?

I got a 1" treadless fork, I think from Nashbar or maybe Niagara, but that was several years ago.

Might be a tough one. Of all my mtb's, only one came with a threadless "1.
Maybe check Craigslist ?

I would visit your local bike shop that has an account with QBP. They can get you the Dimension 26" Mountain Fork 1" Threadless 260mm Black which is made of Chromoly Steel and rather decent for the price. They have 17 in stock within their company and your shop can get it in and help you install it as well.

I am probably going to end up with one for my early 90s Klein MTB (though threaded) since it is a reasonable price and chromoly steel vs cheaper pipe steel or aluminum. Granted I would love an old Judy or something but the Klein head tube is massive so finding a threaded 26" suspension fork that will fit and is in good condition and not through the moon is tough.

I could also suggest going custom. There are plenty of builders out there that might jump at the chance to make you a cool fork. It won't be cheap but if the bike is cool and it might be worth it plus you can get braze ons and stuff and run anything cages and racks and stuff and do a sweet ****** olde schoole adventure bike.
