[Check out these fork](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3ZgaJh3), i came across these recently and been thinking about getting one.
With all the discounts applied, for me the price drops down to 127€, and this includes shipping. Check out the description, you can see all the color options they offer for it.
Unless you have 1″ fork.. that might make things a bit more difficult. Also, you seem to need V brakes, so yeah.. wont work for you.
id go for the gray one, not sure how the blues would match(/contrast)
I would leave it as is. That was one of my first Giant bikes.
Just get a good used one and install it. It’s not that difficult.
Depending on your willingness to work on a custom project, it’s worth noting that the fork you already have includes a crown with clamps…. you could use straight rigid tubing (of the right diameter) and forged dropouts to weld DIY rigid legs that fit this crown!
On the flip side: this isn’t a particularly valuable starter bike… I’d probably look for a used cro-moly fork at your local co-op or eBay and then paint it with whatever color suits your tastes.
That “Porsche grey” color would look great!
I like the double crown . Color? Go for gray.
I like the Grey fork
Assuming the axle to crown isnt too different, I have heard nothing but good things about these Thorn forks. I found one used but I haven’t built that bike up, I am very excited about it though. They normally come with very long steerers too.
