Wanted Looking for 120-140mm 15mm fork strait stir

Hey I am looking for a 26 fork with 120-140mm travel with a 15mm axle. I need the stir tube to be a strait 225mm+ or 9" plus. I have a xl santa cruz chameleon v4 that I desperately need a fork. I'm good with all the big brands fox, rockshox, marzocchi, magura, dt swiss, and so on. I don't want a junk fork. I need it to be in a good rideable condition with little to no major stanchion damage and major issues. Something I can use and rebuild.
 
I think I may have something. I'd need to check as I can't quite remember the spec. They are rs rebas, came off an XL frame so steerer might be long enough. 120mm from memory. White. Only thing I can't recall is if they are qr or bolt through.
 
Sorry to report they are qr lowers. I thought I had some bolt through ones, but nothing in 26er. Shame as steerer is 235mm.

I would be interested in seeing what they look like. I have industry nine hydra straight pull hubs and have the qr axle caps on it now. I was trying to find a nice 15mm to kinda make it feel like a enduro hardtail but I can compromise with a qr. It's a xl santa cruz chameleon 4.
 
Here are some pics. I've not given them a clean but they are very tidy despite this. Not much in the way of marks to the lowers, uppers are unmarked. Fully working, I have the remote lever too, it just wasn't to hand when I grabbed the pics.

I do like the reba range, have had many as well as sids and there's not a lot of difference really.

I might have some alternate Reba decals if blue isn't to your taste. Would need to check. I've got various coloured Sid ones.

I do also have another set of these in black, and bolt through, but they are on a bike currently and I do use it. I have been toying with swapping the forks out, they have a much longer steerer than needed, and the forks are mint, black and I've had them from new, and they've only covered around 100 center parcs miles and one off road ride. Kind of talking myself into hanging on to them I guess. I'd have to see if I've got something else to fit if I were to be persuaded to sell them, I'd have to change hub adapters at minimum.

These are in great shape. Are they 100mm or 120mm? I think the bike could handle a short travel fork. It's mostly going to be used for xc, but I'd like to have it capable to ride a little more rough. The fork in the picture is about a inch too short to use on this frame. I am hoping to eventually run a 15mm fork to make the front end stiffer. The rest of the spec would be perfect for a all day bike. So I'd need it to be robust.

The fork is set at 100mm but as it's dual air, it can be adjusted internally by removing travel spacers from the air shaft to get 120mm, which you can't do with solo air versions, they need the air side damper shaft replacing. The forks are marked with sag indicators for 80, 100 and 120 so you could drop the travel by adding more spacers too.

It's a simple job I've done many times the official way. Release all air from positive and negative air valves. Remove uppers from lowers, remove air side damper shaft, remove travel spacers. Rebuild, adding some 5ccs of fluid in each lower leg via bolt holes before bolting it all back up. I've read of an alternate method, though not tried it. Release air from positive and negative air valves. Remove positive air cap from crown. Compress forks fully. Theory is you can pop the damper shaft out the top, remove travel spacers then reverse like I said though, never tried.
