oh i see no mounts
well i found this - same livery
http://www.vehibase.com/giant-atx-890/photo-1.htm
maybe its an atx xxx (different number?)
erm forks spacers are normally just like large plastic washers
to measure travel, stick a cable tie on one of the legs and see how much its moves
id say with your money
if the forks seems ok
get a new bar and stem? - aim to make it as comfortable as possible with your remaining budget
you could possibly get a set of forks out of that too which would do
but wont be amazing (but im sure they wont be bad, and should do the job)
if you find the sids flexy then maybe a cheaper set would be ideal for you at the moment as cheaper fork generally means cheaper materials = more strength/weight (generally, not always!)
what do the dropouts look like? (pic?)
you might get away with a disc adapter on there - a2z
your forks arent that ols so you may be able to pick up a broken set for cheap for spares? if your that fussed and believe your forks are no good or whatever
maybe your frame is suited to 80mm forks which might be why it looks odd
congratulations also
