Ouch, that looks painful. Glad you're okay.
Apparently you can call Don Koski and he'll build you a fork:

Price seems reasonable to me as long as everything listed is true. If I
was an early MTB collector and had just a bit more disposable income, I
wouldn't bat an eye at paying that price for that bike.

Actually these initial batches were TIG-welded (apparently to fulfill
production obligations while the Tim Neenan-designed frame lugs were being
cast). Note the plain Stumpjumper lettering on this frame. I always regarded
the lugged Stumpies as a big improvement over these early TIG models,
As a showpiece it's worth the money they're asking. As in, hang it on the

Hi all,
Suddenly find myself scratching around to see if I can unearth a
nicer, old 1 rigid MTB fork to replace the one I just destroyed on my
19 1989 Specialized RockCombos.
A Koski Dura-Trac or Ritchey Logic seem (just about) the holy grail
for this task. These forks were available

For me tire preference is a funny thing. I generally like to buy cheaper
tires (perhaps like most), unless I know exactly what I need for a

yeah, this is really interesting. i dont need a wheel built or anything,
