Well yeah. But there must be hundreds of cracked Team Stumpjumpers rusting away in the US.cchris2lou":3fedgfla said:

near as dammit.
Now, this is my own personal opinion so you can shoot me down if you wish:
I dont think your bike is worth spending any more time or money on
If you're now into the Peugeot brand (I'm quite taken by them), there are lots of decent frames as a starting point to make a classic road bike/ commuter or just a 'faffing' around bike.
My point is, I just dont think you will derive much pleasure from riding that particular bike as for the price of replacing the forks, you could bag yourself something from further up the model range. It will be nicer to ride.
just my thoughts...

and with a heavy heart, I have to agree, CHVNK666 notwithstanding. I'll add that, to judge by the saddle height, something a few inches smaller would also be a much better idea.legrandefromage":2ic0gzeu said:

yea that is pretty close
although mine had downtube shifters, and the freewheel isnt Maillard, it's an Atom, with a lovely sounding 40ish engagement points.
But yea I think you guys are right and i'll not bother trying to find a replacement fork, I am having great fun on this one though, my other bike is a GT mountainbike specced for what one would call "freeride" so this makes a fun change.
However, i would be prepared to buy a different one. Are there any websites as well as ebay where I could look for one? I'll also pop into local bike shops too though.
