Withdrawn 26" forks

[MarinMartin]

I know budget is a problem, but I'd be looking for some new Judy's like this. 27.5 forks should fit your bike without messing up the geometry and you could run your 26" wheels in there (assuming axle is compatible.

I think the long steerer will make it a struggle to buy 2nd hand

I really wish I could afford that much. I've sold all of the marin parts for £200 so that's my entire budget to fix the whole Trance. Need forks and a new cassette and chain (as putting the 1x10 from my Marin onto it so I still have a part of it).

I've found several on ebay with long enough steerers but every time I get sniped last second. Currently watching a set of fox talas in unknown condition, even if it means I can just get it rideable for now as I'm hoping to do a Christmas fundraising ride on it.

I've had a look in the stash, only forks I've found so far with a steerer long enough are some Sid's with 230mm steerer. They are only 80mm of travel though so probably too short for your trance.

I've got a few other places to check, I recall having some other forks I've not found yet.

Found these on the bay. Not amazing but have the steerer length you are after.

I know you ruled out sr suntour due to rusty stanchions, but these aren't steel sooooo.

The forks work fine but lock out needs looking at as no top cap as lost while in storage this does not effect the use of forks in any way.
