I was more worried about the rust tbh, I do like the colour!
The only reason for discs was I struggled to find a straight rigid fork with canti mounts for a decent price. I'll trawl gumtree/ebay for genuine forks...

Fair enough, I found a couple of GT steel forks the other day on eBay by searching for that exactly.
Rust wise, could always sand/treat the rust then clear coat/clear nail varnish the affected areas, giving it supreme ratteh finish...
A few Gt forks from international sellers
Or this which should be perfect?
Assuming it's 1 1/8
Or these

The paint is awesome IMO. Find some original forks , and run v brakes, unless you're planning on modding the frame with rear disc caliper mounts?
This was the model above or below my GT when I bought it (19 years ago) I got the aluminium Arrowhead I think the Timberline was one above and I couldn't understand why anyone would want steel (this was when alu was on trend, nobody rode steel)
Still got the arrowhead, hopefully one day get around to giving it that hack build (have all the parts for it , just no need for a bike of that description)
