Oh, only ~$125 or so and the rest of the bike (mostly replaced by now) was attached. After I posted that, I looked again and suddenly found a chromed fork (ramiko brand, which I'd never heard of before) for $40 that might work. Maybe my google skills have become stronger since I last looked or maybe there was a reason I turned it down before, at least it's something to look into further. I do wish for lugged rather than unicrown, but I know that's a futile wish. Then again, maybe I should just sell the mutt I've made and buy a road bike, which is apparently what I wanted all along.
