The original Giant cfr2 forks have done a fair few thousand miles over the years and show no sign of imminent catastrophic failure - but should these bad boys be replaced as a precautionary measure?
Well I guess, maybe? Some of the bonded forks were quite good, others not so much, bu it is glued together after all. I have the same quandary with old carbon forks.
Got to the end of one race, undid my front wheel to put the bike in the car.
Watched the left hand fork leg fall off.
Where the carbon was bonded to the crown had just failed........ gave me a brief moment!
That's it - new forks time...as long as I change my stem and headset could I switch over to thread-less as 1 inch threaded forks are thin on the ground.

I think the Giant fork would be a quality item and made to a very high standard.
I would also think if its mine and the bonded fork is shot then maybe it would be wise to hang up the frame its on. Or even semi retirement
Yes, another Overbury's at THM Towers. Hardtail or rigid?
