I just got a free Mountain Bike, its an old GT Talera. 7 Speed, rigid frame, but a little TLC and its in great shape.

Yes its steel, yes its heavy, yes it was free. I changed the cables, cleaned out the insides of the Alivio shifters,they werent catching the shift pawls everytime, this seems to happen to all my old shimano shifters, both MTB and road. I open them up douse them in Pro-link and the start working again. I think the grease in there just gets too hard after a while.

I want to put a suspension fork on it, is there a decent quality one that will fit an old steel frame? I believe its a 1" head tube or so.
