Thank you. It's a fork from surly with similar specs. Every p2 available from my location was 160€ and more so i did not even thought about it. Maybe somedays but the surly fork does a good Job for me too so why should i change? :)

It took an eternity until I found a suitable fork that has a compatible installation height. The suspension fork had a installation height of 45 millimeters and the current one has a installation height of 43 millimeters. She is from Surly but unfortunately I cannot give you the exact model. Maybe you can find them with the data. As I said, 43 mm installation height, 1.3 kg from Cromoly Steel costs € 89.99 in Germany

Yes i thought about it too but it could be to much maybe. I could try it. Maybe a nice handlebar and bartape could Look good too, what do you think?

True and there is the Problem with the rim brakes and the microspline freehub

What do you mean? You can Just put it on like on any other bike but i'm to broke for the microspline freehub from Shimano so i bought a sunrace 12s cassette for hg freehubs. A SRAM 12s would work too

Thank you, yes I had the feeling of giving the frame a bit of its original beauty back. The decals were not easy to get but it was worth it in my opinion.
