It's great to see this subforum in motion!
This is my current bike for around the city.
Does anyone have experience swapping out forks? I'd like to go solid up front. What info/measurements do I need to know to before buying?

RE: solid fork, you need to find out your current fork length and order one the has the same effective length. Common are 80mm, 100mm and 120 mm. Make sure what you buy uses the same brake mounts, c brake or disc.
Finally you'll need to make sure you remove the crown race from the old fork and install it on the new one.

Above should have said V brake, damn iphone. Here are my poor neglected rides, soon to be heavily used. Specialized langster single speed roadie with MTB wide bars and the pig, Intense Tracer slopestyle 1x9.

Sub'd.
I've got a few high end mountain bikes that I need to replace soon as they are getting 5-6ish years old (with 2010ish suspension and wheels). Which as lots of us know, is ancient in bike speak though.
These days in the city though I primarily ride around a Milwaukee fixed frame. I don't give a sh!t what people say, I have a bloody blast riding the thing.
Good to see this thread up and running, I'll make sure to post pics when I'm not half drunk and needing sleep.
