I’ve had this bike since roughly 2007-2008. I want to put a new fork on it or rebuild the Noleen one if I can find parts.
I plan on tearing it all the way down and rebuilding it just for something fun.
No clue how to go about finding the model number of the frame, it is not stamped anywhere on there nor is there a sticker for it. TIA!

EDIT I know it is from 1997-2001
Strait out the 90s, looks like it got a 9 speed upgrade
* [with some fabrication the shock can be replaced by a normal shock](https://aridesomewhere.blogspot.com/2009/04/breathing-life-into-those-old-girvin.html)
* [risse racing atleast used to make upgrade parts for girvin stuff](https://www.risseracing.com/girvin.shtml)
* [ancient NOS parts are available on ebay](https://www.ebay.com/itm/315948296803)
The forks been out of production for a few decades now but its essentially the same as a Girvin Vector 2 (the Vector 1 had an integrated stem but same leg/shock assembly)- the bushings/shock for those, fit on yours.
It was added to the bike after it was sold as those were a Pro-flex/k2 exclusive for OEM sales (you could buy one aftermarket from a Pro-flex/K2 dealer). Only takes one side apart at a time and make a note of how the bushings are orientated as they only fit one way. Noleen amazingly enough still lists replacement shocks for the Crosslink forks.
