The French stuff on the moto can be hard to find. I've got the parts lying about, but I don't think I'd use them on a Grand Touring, which is a nice beater, but hardly world-class. I agree, go with the schwinn. Replacement forks can be found a lot cheaper than sixty bucks on ebay-- you just want one that's english threaded with a long enough steerer tube. If you're looking at an older fork, be aware that some older forks use a JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) fork crown race, which at 27.0 mm can be (very) hard to find. Look for a 26.4 mm fork crown race. If in doubt, ask-- many ebay sellers are blissfully unaware of this little sizing problem. Don't buy anything with a JIS fork crown race.
