i have a 2nd hand dekerf generation hardtail that i just LOVE (what a rocket ship)...use it most for commuting right now...has older original judy rockshox 100 that came with her and i can hear them 'creaking' sometimes...would like to keep it as a ht...any one make some suggestions for a good replacement shock fork that is non disc...as the judy fork has attachments for my sidepull brakes (xt) which bike still uses (hey it is a '96 afterall)...some have suggested just putting on a regular stiff front fork (any suggestions there, too, ie, dekerf's forks are $300ish and up)...

i don't plan on getting rid of my baby

i have a rivendell atlantis, dekerf hardtail and next am seeking either a bf pocket rocket (or crusoe in a 53") or moulton or gunnar sport in a 52"
