Which Rigid Fork ?

I have a Bontrager Race frame that I am looking for a rigid fork.

What is available in a 1" rigid fork that is suspension corrected ?

Thanks !!!

Independent Fabrication. I've got one for my hardtail that swaps out with a suspension fork for
weight savings on pure climbs. Nice quality cro-mo. Alloy would likely be lighter, but the IF is
pretty and rides nice

 

As I understand it, 'suspension corrected' refers to the frame geomery having been adjusted so that
it can take a suspension fork without the geometry being compromised.

I could be wrong, however the was the explaination given to me when enquiring about the term when
buyin my rigid bike.

 

i think it can apply in terms of forks as well. since the frame has been suspension corrected, you
can then get suspension corrected ridgid forks which mean that bike has the same geometry as if it
did have an suspension fork. they look a little odd with a big gap between the top of the tyre and
the crown of the fork.

i ran my trek 6500 all last winter with a normal (ie not corrected ridgid fork)
