'96 (?) Scott Tampico/RST 318 <<fork rebuild?
hey all....
picked up the tampico, yesterday, for $15 at a thrift store. needs some work to get it running, but the fork is dead. i know it's nothing "special" as forks go, but i'd like to rebuild it, anyway
did some google searching and couldn't find hardly info. given the rst desirability, i'm not surprised. i did find atleast one link for a manual, but it's no longer available. i also found a website for parts, but i already have some new from another rst fork. not sure they'd swap over model to model, though
anyone have experience with these forks?
thanks!!

btw, is this frame a bit of a rare bird? like the fork, i can't find really anything about the frame itself. plenty of newer scott bikes i can see on the web, but nothing this old. not sure it's actually '96, but it is late 90's i'd guess given no seat stay canti bridge...rather a seat/top tube junction pipe for v brake cable routing
here's an image from ebay. mine otherwise looks like this '96
