Early last summer the seals suspension fork on my teenage son's Trek 6500 blew, this was about a week before our planned trip. Tried to track down a Surly 1x1 fork, but time was short; however LBS had some older forks in spare parts. There was a rigid fork that was just right for for the suspension travel and steerer tube- $15 plus a couple of spacers and an hr's shop labor. A very nice solution. See if a LBS has one in their "old parts"
