So far the only thing I've found is the RST Capa. It looks low-end, but not a problem for this particular bike. Do you guys know of any others?
Current headset is threaded, but I could change it to threadless easy enough.
Thanks

Upgrading a 1" was a pain when I did it 8 years ago. I can only recommend trying the Suntour website to see if they still have any offerings. They did a few years ago. Keep in mind, these forks are not made for Canti brakes so if you have cantis, you may need to change your brakes to V's, which will result in a change of your levers and let's hope they aren't attached to your shifters. Alternately, you can build a homemade cable stop and attach it to the fork. That's the route I went. Don't overlook ebay. 1" threaded or threadless is tough. Hope you find something.

Thanks Rocco, I'll see what I can find out there. V-brake isn't a problem. It is funny how you can't just change one thing though.....one change sets in motion a whole list of other to make it work.
