well, my two LBS didn't seem too interested in helping out...if anything i think they wanted to sell me a whole new bike which i really can't do for a few months. one said the only fork they could get was $130 (!) and the other store (where it was bought in 2004) said $80...all that before labor.

so......yes, i believe this is THREADED so should this be an easy replacement for me? i have never done this particular operation, but (uh) i like puzzles and i used to be a wordworker so i did do alot of router bit changing...can i do this on my own?

i think just finding a used one or something on ebay or craigslist is the next alternative...
