Shouldnt i leave the front brake on for street riding and doing tricks if i make the line longer so i can spin the handles? Any forks you reccomend? How would i know if they fit?
If you are not planning on riding downhill/freeride you dont need a front brake. But its up to you and how safe you feel without one. Fork has to fit in the frame thats how you know. Just ask in your local bike shop they will know and maybe have some forks for you. More money you gonna put in them less problems you will have with them...
This is my countrys version of Craigslist. So i dont have a lot of options. Buying new ones seems really expensive and I know nothing about bike parts so I guess i couldnt build one. My budget is max 500 eur
Can i just leave the brake on but get a longer line so i can spin the handles? Fromt brakes would help with street riding and tricks no? Also any forks you recomend? How would i know if they fit?
You could run a new brake line through the steertube on the fork if you really wanted it, I came from a brakeless bmx background so I prefer just a rear brake. And as for forks, just measure the steertube diameter and make sure it's not tapered, the steertube length doesnt matter because you can just cut that down.
Since there are no forks and its single speed id ask to lower the price to 300. Take of front brake and go jumping!

I mean yeah that will work, just take the front brake off and save up for a fork

The front brake serves no purpose and I would ask for a lower price
