Old Fisher
I don't know about the BB, but I picked up a shock with a 1.25" steer tube on e-Bay a couple of months back. There were 2 or 3 up for auction when I was bidding on this one. Some LBSs or manufacturers may still have crown / steer tube assemblies that could be changed out. Look for dealers that used to carry Fisher. Brake changeout should be a snap, but if you only have a noodle at the seat tube for the brake cable to travel through, you will need to run a full length housing on your brake cable when using V-brakes.
P.S. How does an AL-1 rust away in the back yard? Aren't they aluminum?
