Fork, handlebar and stem suggestions for Klein Pulse '94

[winniez]

Greeting everyone. I have just found a nice Pulse frame and I already got most of the parts I need for the build. I'm on the budget and I'm not looking to do any restoration, but would like to follow the spirit of the original.
What good options there are for the fork and handlebar/stem combo? I'm looking for an affordable light fork, suspension travel is not that important. And no need for disc mounts, I'm planning to use cantis at the rear and V-brake in the front.
Since its Pulse I wouldn't like to have rigid fork though.
All advices would be much appreciated.

try to find some pics of Kleins with Cannondale P-bone rigid forks, looks pretty good imo

p bones look just right on pulse frames

Thanks for suggestions. P-bone might be a safe bet. Atleast its light. In my understanding Pulse has a geometry desinged for using front suspension. Is P-bone a direct fit for Pulse?
Actually I think for my use Frankenklein would be well suited, looks like its good for rolling over obstacles. Just not sure about the look so maybe I stick to the normal configuration .

when you say direct fit, the fork is 1 1/8" steerer and it handles great, very responsive but not to twitchy

Any updates? I'd like to see what you made of your Pulse. I'm debating where to go with mine as I'm tired of the Judy XC.
