Suggestions for replacement touring fork
 
I've got a 1990 Trek 720 that needs a replacement fork. Something that has braze-ons for canti brakes, mid hole for rack and atleast 1 eyelet (obviously).
Also something that wont brake the bank. I received this bike for free and am not looking to invest too much into this.

Thanks!

1990 Trek 720 is a hybrid. It is not a touring bike. The last 720 touring bike was 1985.

I could send you the fork from my 1992 Trek 520: 1" steerer tube, 700C wheels, cantilever brakes. The top 2cm of the steerer tube got shorn off in an accident, so it's too short for the frame now. But if you don't need more than 14cm of steerer it'll work perfectly. By the way, I'm also looking for exactly the same thing, with 16cm of steerer...

What does this mean as far as a touring build goes? The bike came with all of the normal braze on's that a touring bike would have so I figured it would be suitable. The headtube angle is quite slack, but don't touring bikes generally have slacker angles?
