Of course, if you need a new fork, I bet the Bilenky guys can build one for you.

Also, a word of advice based on personal experience - You might want to make sure the top and down tubes didn't get damaged when whatever ate that fork for lunch was at it. (Tghat looks like one hell of a head-on.) Especially check right behind the underside of the head lugs. While you are at it, do a careful inspection - visual and by feel - of the head tube also. It's likely that damage to these places, if any, is minor enough not to affect the rideability of the frame, but it can't hurt to check. I hope this all pans out for you and I am being overly paranoid.
