how do, MBUK!!! 
i bought a kona nunu frame off ebay about a year ago, as im sick of riding my haggard (unknown make) budget Y-framed hardtail, which was donated by my ex's dad (after my 2001 Marin Fire Trail was very kindly taken off my hands by a young gentleman wearing an addidas tracksuit, a hoody and a ski mask) 
the nunu was an impulse buy with an aim to building it into a nice lil XC ride.. the guy selling it listed no details so i knew f*ck all about the year/specs etc until last night when i finally found out its a 1999 model (yellow-ish gold with black and white decals)
I was wondering though, if you could advise me on some decent low-mid priced forks to get it up and running ready for some autumn riding? I need to buy other parts aswell but for now im mainly bothered about the forks to get it looking more bike shaped. ive set myself a budget of about £600 for everything (max), so fork idea for around £120-£250 would be awesome,
having seen a guy in manchester the other day riding a nice looking set up with the same frame as mine, i really wanna get started on building it up for the spring.
cheers guys!

I am pretty sure the bike has a 1+1/8th threadless headset (Aheadset) which most forks are. But you ned to check it has the correct mounts for your brakes as I assume you are running V brakes (many forks are disc only now).

im not running any brakes atm, i only have the frame at present but im thinking im gonna go with discs, they have good stopping power and they still work well when wet/muddy which is what im after as i love muddy trails! is it worth getting forks with mounts incase i run out of funds and have to get V's?
