What do you think about some older RockShox forks? They are easier to find in good condition here in Italy, presumably because so many were sold as part of complete bikes back in the early 2000s. I have no idea how the quality compares to Marzocchi though.

They were poor for a good period around that time, till about 2004/5 when they released The Pike following the SRAM takeover. Rigids probably a better bet! Bet you can still buy 30mm bushings/seals for Marzocchis from that period though. Have you tried Pinkbike marketplace?

I had a look but it seems a bit higher-end. I'm still waiting for the parts I've ordered (Covid delay) so haven't ridden it yet. Once I give it a try I'll (hopefully) know whether suspension is what I'm after, or a rigid fork. Got my eye on some Surly forks if it turns out to be the latter.
