Saracen 1994 front shocks.

Retro Newbie
Hi.
Bit of a bike amateur here.
Recently purchased a Saracen to differ slightly from my old trek 6500...which I've given a new lease of life last year.
This Saracen had some ruined max shock forks that requiring binning.
Problem is I'm struggling to hunt down some replacement forks with a steerer of approx 220mm.
Any advice...do I need to just sit patient lurking eBay etc.
I'll attach a picture of the frame as it is of now. Hope to give this a new lease of life again.

I managed to source some Quadra 21R forks with about 225mm steerer for my 1993 Trekker Elite. Suit it perfectly.
 
Thanks for the reply...there is another Andes on retro bike with rockshox xc by the looks of it.... I will keep looking for shocks. With 225 stearer....1.1/8" the Quadra 21r would probably be a good option to keep costs down....do they come in any other colour than yellow 👁️
Qaudra 10 were the forks from the 1994 era on Saracen catalogue...Grey in colour. Or pace 35...probably need a new crank also...these altus parts are not great. 😂 undecided to reuse the parts...just a new cassette and chain...it might lead me on to spending more cash on a nicer retro bike. But will see how this rides...2nd bike strip down...to keep on learning..;)
