What's toast about them?

ebay --tons of 'em, cheap.

You could replace the whole fork, but why not just find a donor for the parts you need -- lower legs
with fresh bushings, a new cartridge, new bumpers and/or springs, etc. That way you don't actually
need to find a 1" fork for a replacement. Chances are your stanchion tubes can be replaced too,
since most of those old Judy XCs had the pinch bolt crowns. If you have a black Bontrager crown, you
might want to keep it anyway -- the short offset it provides is the secret to Bontrager's stable but
nimble handling.
