Frame cost me much less than you think, plus August Bicycles on here have quoted me to fix it just about what I spent so it owes me very little…I'd also go Fuquay - rare and steel. Lovely.
Only problem is after much deliberation you'll go down an absolute rabbit hole trying to find some Gumbo forks*. By the time you've removed the disc tab, added canti bosses and resprayed (along with the inevitable and by that time now acquired forks) it's going to owe you a lot of money (says the guy who spent silly money respraying a common or garden P7)
In the short term, see if the F7 fork will fit the Fuquay as aesthetically it'll look right and they ride beautifully.
One other consideration for such a whippet of a frame... SINGLESPEED!!!
*I note you're looking at SIDS. Hope I haven't poisoned your thinking with the Gumbo
I have some P2’s from a Kilauea if I go the rigid route which could also look amazing on when resprayed to match the frame…
