[MENTION=529645]Vitma[/MENTION] - Back in 2014 I found a TREK 760 that was a project. After bringing it home, I noticed the front fork was a Giant unicrown! Bummer. The fork for the 760 in '84/'85 was unique with the crown and 38mm rake. The only aftermarket one was a track fork and more than what I paid for the bike.
I looked for a while and finally found a fork on the bay. Long story short, the seller was local and upon pickup, discovered it was bent. I bent it back (steerer was straight). The fortunate thing was the fork was an '85 and off a 60cm frame. My frame is an '84 and 60cm.
Luck can happen but you have to look for it. Sometimes the stars align.
