I screwed up my fork in an accident and it needs replaced. the bike shop doesn't have a price yet. Anybody have any idea what the damage is going to be?

If you search around there have been some threads indicating that they can reach about $500-700. Many have suggested to buy a fork on eBAy.
Try to see if your dealer can get you a deal under a "crash replacement" program. Usually that applies to a new frame/fork but you never know.

I was under the impression that this was really the only fork that would work on this bike, hopefully I'm wrong? The bike is new (6 months old) and the dealer is looking at the crash replacement deal, they just haven't got the specifics yet.
