Anywhere would be the answer, there's loads of shops online selling sram and shimano front mechs, depends what your after.

What year is the bike?

if you dont know the year and exact model post a picture.

In fact a picture (clear good quality) would be preferable.
how to post pics can be found in the BR FAQ's

You used to need to know the seat tube diameter, but a lot now come with spacers to fit the common sizes, so that's one less thing to worry about.
Next question is top or bottom pull. Have a look at the cable routing - will the cable approach the mech from the top or the bottom?

Finally pull or swing. If there's plenty of room above the mech then conventional/pull will be okay.

If part of the rear swingarm (for full suss designs) or other protrusion limits the space available above the front mech you need swing. (Have a look at Chain Reaction and you'll see what I mean.
