giant YUKON parts needed

Hey. Im new here.

I have a Giant Yukon that I bought in Early 2004, so Im guessing its a 2003 model. Its red and silver... I can email a pic if you like.

Some jerk reversed into it when it was hanging on the roof hooks in the basement and the entire front end needs to be replaced. The frame is fine.

I can replace everything but Im having trouble finding MANITOU forks (they are warped beyond repair).

Does anyone here have anything they can sell me?

Id just go out and buy a whole new bike, but I love THIS one.

If you can help in anyway It'd be appreciated heaps! Thanks.

Assembly of a NEW BIKE???

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Anyone know what is involved in assembling (correctly) a high end bicycle?

I’m sure the correct way isn’t to just pull it out of the box, slap the front wheel on, and adjust the handle bars?

Some shops claim it takes close to 3hrs (including setting the suspension to rider weight), and that most don’t do a complete job if it has been done in 1hr.

I've had a Klein Race stolen, it's an older bike but a real favourite of mine. Red in colour and has grey Kona rigid folks, Yellow Jersey Sticker near front derailer, other noticeable parts a purple drinks holder, cut down handle bars, very good condition for it's age ('96 year).

If anyone tries to pass it on would be happy to hear

Cheers
Bendy
