I have an old Trek 700 hybrid (chromemoly main triangle) that needs a new fork. I can get an original hi-ten fork for next to nothing, or Dimension makes a replacement chromemoly fork that is about 140g lighter. Now I know the weight savings won't mean much on on old steel hybrid, but will the chromemoly fork make a noticable difference in the ride? Will it be any stronger? I really like this old bike for gravel roads and the like.
What I really want is to find a 730 of the same vintage which was all cro-mo with butted main tubes.
