First and biggest challenge, finding a disc brake fork.
Canti brakes + riding fixed around the Jurassic Coast doesn't fill me with joy.

I've been told the Axle to Crown is 420mm. No idea what the rake is and presume it is a straight 1 1/18 steerer.

Will a 26" rigid mtb fork with 700c and 32c tyres work?

Seems very long. Would fit 700*32c though. It might be a misleading pic but maybe a shorter fork would steepen angles a better and give it a bit of bb drop?

I think the bike is based on the normal Subway which they offered as a hybrid or mtb.
Part tempted to stick on some old short travel Dart forks on a bike sat at my parents place.
