I still have the original fork on my 1996 Stumpjumper M2FS -- a tan RS Judy. I suspect it's 63 cm of travel and 1 1/8-inch steerer. Does that sound right? Are there any forks still available that will be compatible, travel-wise? (I don't want to fcuk up the geometry). I'd like something light and low-maintenance.
help me with my fork stats

I'm sure there are other forks with the same amount of travel still made and/or available (race).

But too rich for my blood. Any decent, but cheaper alternatives left out there?
Get a used Marzocchi Z2. The 1999 z2 Atom Bomb and the 1998 z2 BAM were 65mm travel, and pretty much as bulletproof as a fork can get.
They're not super-light though; probably around 3.5 lbs. I'm sure you could dig up a NOS one somewhere, but the used ones are very reliable. You could probably get one for ~$125 or less.
