SuperCourse's aren't that rare; but unless someone has trashed a frame and not the fork, you're not likely to find just a fork.

I'd suggest you take your existing fork to the powedercoater who's doing your frame, and ask if they can do a 12" section of the fork blades, leaving the crown and the tips chrome. If they can do that, it'll look pretty good even if the crown doesn't really match the frame lugs.

By the way, your rear brake is boxed up and addressed, I just haven't had a chance to go to the post office! --Rudi
