Bicycle Mechanics - Rock Shox Replacement

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
I had my bike stolen and was given a very nice Balance Mountain Bike. However, the front fork bottoms out as soon as I get on it. I wrote to the manufacturer and was told parts are no longer available. I would like to replace the fork with either another shock fork or just a fixed static one. Anyone have suggestions as to what to get. I will ride mostly for the commute in the Portland area and not much if any off roading.
Thanks

If you're just commuting onpathways and streets, a ridgid fork would probably do fine.

Yeah I second that. The price of forks seem excessive for roads/gentle offroad.
Go for rigid fork and save some $
Can you guys recommend a rigid replacement fork for the Rock Shox? What is on here now is the Quadra 21R.
Thanks,

You do not have to go rockshox that is just a brand, the steering tube would make the only difference on fork you select. I'm assuming it is 1 1/8" inch.
Webcyclery carries quite a few that would fit your needs.
