Taking my race lite to cannock this weekend in the retro class. I'll get some photos posted up Before it gets dirty. Switch blade forks natch.

Breaking up a set of bits that were put together decades ago is a tragedy Glad you got over it

Bit late to the thread. the forks are worth £350 don't sell them you will regret it. The frame is worth about the same. The race lite is indeed far superior to the race.

The frame is the last of the tru bontragers And is suspension corrected race.

Not quite period but a sound fork Marzochi mx comp was avl with 1 inch threadless. Air oil so proper suspension.

A suspension corrected frame by definition was made to run the longer fork So I doubt that there were longer rigid forks avl as at the time as there was a general stamped to suspension . So a longer 1 inch threadless fork period correct probably doesn't exist. There was no demand. As...

I would consider running the headset threaded or unthreaded depending on what fork you can get. As the fork is the tough ask and the headset is an easy source and swap.
