Are the forks original to the frame?
They certainly look weird.
Considerations I can think of are: steerer diameter and length, threaded or not, Axle to Crown length, tyre clearance, brake mounts, mudguard and rack mounts. and you may want to consider rake, but prob won’t be necessary.
I'm not sure if they're original as the whole bike's been sprayed black. From a half-arsed google I think it's an early 90's trek singletrack.
Cheers that's really helpful. I think I'll probably replace them just to be on the safe side and it seems like there's plenty of 26" forks on ebay
