26" mtb forks can work fine for a 700 disc setup, it's what I'm using. Shape of the crown in that pic looks like tyre clearance could be an issue. My alu ones are a bit flexy so I'm hoping P2 or disc trucker turn up, Planet X Kaffenback forks are worth considering. I've got a v-brake version on my loaner, works fine.
