Good question. It's more that the bike is complete with original LX and System 2 Components throughout. I can deal.
Question -- what would be an appropriate rigid fork to swap? The 1996 spec manual shows that the 900 series of that era are spec'ed for an Axle to Crown of 408mm, with a tolerable range of 408 mm - 430 mm. Is it as simple as finding a fork with an AtoC in that range, such as that Surly Troll (even if it isn't suspension-corrected)?
