Broken Shock

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

So my wife dumped her bike off the top of the roof rack. (D'oh!) Damaged the shifters, I just ordered repalcements. She also pulled the "guts" out of the her maniou black. My question is, what's going to be the most cost effective route, repair or replacement. First, CAN the fork even be repaired/rebuilt. I know I'm looking at about $400 for a repalcement. I'm kinda clueless about the internal workings of front shock...

Thanks in advance.
