Options for forks with v-brake bosses?

[radam]

I recently built up an old 1997 Rockhopper frame and ended up swapping out the original 5 mm (or whatever) travel Rock Shox Indy fork for a Dart 1. The Dart 1 is way heavier though and then I ended up having to throw a heavy disc wheel on there because that's all I had lying around. What I'd rather do is put the original, rim-brake only front wheel back on the bike and swap out the Dart 1 for something less, uh... shitty.
So what options are out there for 80-100mm travel forks with v-brake bosses? If anyone has anything to sell, great. Otherwise I'm just wondering where to start my search.

Probably more travel than you want and it needs a 20 mil. thru axle hub, but I have an old rebuilt RS Psylo that has brake bosses. I'd let it got for the price of a 12 pack of Jubilale.

Is that a u-turn model or is it fixed travel?

If the Psylo isn't what you're looking for, I've got a Manitou XVert Air (105mm travel, IIRC) that was working fine when I pulled it off a few years ago. Same deal; price of a family pack of brew, plus shipping. Color is black, if that matters.

I did the same for my gf's Rockhopper this spring, and we picked up a new RockShox fork w/ brake bosses for like $150. Unfortunately, I am drawing a blank on the model, but I think it was the Tora. It was a little heavier than the original POS Manitou that was on there, but not a crazy weight increase.

Got it from PricePoint, but I can't find it on there now.

edit - take a look at the RS selections on universalcycles.com. They have a couple of options w/ brake bosses.

Travel is adjustable, but you have to do it internally with a screwdriver. I think it is something like 100mm to 130mm.

I have a nice magura 80 mm fork but it isn't cheap that I am willing to sell.

why not just buy one BB7 for the front and run whatever fork you want.

What ^^ he said, unless your disc wheel is really heavy. You could likely get a single BB7 & Caliper for far less than a new heavy/cheap fork, and still have money left over to re-lace that heavy disc wheel's hub to the lighter v-brake rim....

Rock a rigid steel fork...they are easy to find and lighter than what you have. While your at it drop all the gears and run that bitch ss
