Re: fork, your troll is 420mm a-c, most 26” rigid forks are around 425mm so it would be an ideal swap and the geo would remain very similar.
Also, FWIW, I wouldn’t throw loads of money at the bike if you’re still not 100% sure it’s what you want or if you’ll keep it long term. Try and spend as little as possible getting it to a point where you’re happy. You can always upgrade bits and pieces later and you’ll still have the cheaper parts you end up removing which can be used for other projects. If you throw money at it and end up deciding to get a new bike altogether you’ll potentially have wasted a fair bit of cash, plus £££ doesn’t necessarily = fun, sometimes it’s quite the opposite!
