Irreplaceable Fork?!

Hello all, I have 2005 Gary Fisher Zebrano S that I would like to overhaul and get a couple more seasons out of.

One of the first things I want to do is get rid of the RST CT Free fork, and replace it with a solid steel fork.

However, I can't find replacement that matches the RST dimensions. It's a 1 1/8" threaded fork with a 140mm steerer tube.

Any ideas? I need to fit 700c tires and vee brakes, just to be clear.

Thanks!

Brilliant! Perfect for my budget bomber. I assume a couple spacers can take up the 12mm difference when I install?

Yes, or you could saw it off with a hacksaw.
