I'm tempted to buy a Ridley X-night frame, seems to be in decent state but without fork. Since I'm new to this disc brake / tapered steerer lark I'm not too sure what to expect.

What are the odds of finding a fork for reasonably cheap? How hard is it to come by the correct set of brakes and corresponding wheels? And is €300 a reasonable price for such a frame?

Hi Tijmen,

Finding a fork shouldn't be to difficult, any 1 1/8 to 1 1/2 should fit with a is42/is52 headset. Most disc brakes will fit, as long as they are not "flat mount". Same goes for the wheels, any disc wheel should fit as long as it is QR.

I find €300 a bit steep though

Ah right, thanks for the info! Sounds like I should be able to figure it out then.
