I've got exactly this frame. I bought it used, and one of the front brake studs had similarly broken and been fixed with a Problem Solvers Stud Repair Kit. It wasn't initially installed properly, but after re-tapping the threads in the fork it's held up great through daily use. I don't see the kit on the Problem Solvers website but it is widely available from bike shops. I'd give it a try before buying a new fork - it's inexpensive, and you could probably even assemble your own equivalent cheaper from hardware store parts.
