Help! I need a bareknuckle fork

Three weeks ago I wrecked my bike into a moving vehicle resulting in a bent fork and broken collarbone. I thought I would be able to fix my fork, but it turns out that it's too fatigued to continue using.

I called euro-asia about getting a new khaki green fork. They say they only make black in after market forks. I realize that I can just bite my lip and buy their any other fork out their, but I was really happy with the one I had.

If anyone knows how I could get a khaki green bareknuckle fork, please let me know.

Also, I realize that I have the option of just painting the black fork. I'd rather not do this for two reasons. First off, this accident has already cost me enough, and second, I will be able to start working next week which will require me to have my bike!

I know this is totally unhelpful, but why not just put the black fork on, you can always paint it at some future juncture when you have more legal tender at hand.

If you have black components on the bike the black fork would probably look pretty dope.

i would say, you should just get a chrome fork.. soma makes one..

you can get some that are slightly cheaper, but at least the chrome fork is classier.
