PH I need some help!

I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive fork with the following spec;

700c
Disc brake suitable
Straight 1-1/8 steerer
9mm QR drop out
Can take a wide tyre, ~40c (Think CX spec)

I don't mind ebay carbontastic stuff. I've had some in the past and it hasn't failed me yet! Also don't mind an aluminium item.

I've been searching and I can only see either mega bucks items or tapered steerers. I think I maybe after the 335i M Sport touring Manual of the fork world!

Thanks

Your Dad

You can buy Genesis forks separately, though for 9mm QR and disk brake compatibility you'd have to be looking at something from a few years ago. Their current CGR fork has a thru axle, but is disk compatible, has internal cable routing a 1 1/8" steerer and is meant as a replacement for the steel fork on their CdF cyclocross bike (I think most new disk forks will probably have a thru-axle too as it's considered a bit safer).
