Apparently it's the 'Hercules' or 'Supreme'. Made in India in the late 1990's. It's an odd one but I love it. Now just have to get it fixed. *Update (06/7/15 ). Now expertly fixed (by Brooks England, what great people btw), even they didn't know what it is, apart from it *not* being a...

I love this. And the colour! Now I know where Dawes got the idea for their 1989 range - my 1st 'ATB' was an '89 Dawes Tracker - and if your Avanti wasn't the Proto-daddy of that very same beastie then I'll be knocked down by a feather.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Raleigh-M-Tra ... 2c982823ce Not sure about the 18" claim though, I have a '97 M-Trax 150 in 19" which looks the same at the headtube, so worth double-checking.

B67/B66 is a twin rail iirc, this is similar to the B33 which is still made, but has rods at the top of the rear springs rather than more springs. Looks much more beefy/heavy duty all over.

Just taken ownership of this behemoth, is literally the biggest and heaviest saddle I've seen. Love it to bits and intended for my Batavus but needs a fixup. It says 'Brooks Made In India, no model stamp on side panels, but a 'TI' logo in two concentric circles on the top. Have written to...

(Thanks The Malcolm) much appreciated. Haven't got the tools/my head around the changeover yet so currently still riding the old boingy gritty ones with the compression screwed down to firm things up a bit, might do me for the winter then will decide what to do early spring. I really do have...

amedias - 3 Headshoks in the family, is that masochism or minimalism I can't decide! Themalcolm - Fatty Super (steel steerer) arrived - here's the pic: Looks ok, and a few hand compressions standing on the floor seems smooth, lockout works but is not total, ie there is a 'thunk', seems a...

^^^ Good shout! Better than double the price :-)

To fit 2001 CAAD3 with Headshok

or a Sonoma?

Promising news I've just scored a (used) replacement Super fork for notalot, with lockout and air! Wrong colour but when it comes to service will hopefully swap the internals into existing forks if compatible. Now just need to find a boot. Fingers crossed this one isn't in such a shokking...

Black preferred! Cheers

:shock: 167 sterling, plus fitting/service - equals something in the region of 300 quids if I'm not wrong? That could buy a very nice dual air fork, maybe I should just forego the lockout and get this one serviced and setup correctly for my weight...anyone else have experience of a non-lockout...

Wow what a ton of information - rlly appreciated thnks. Don't know where I'm going with this tbh, quite sure I'd miss the lockout, wrongly assumed all Headshoks had that function. Would probably have a bash at servicing/swapping elastomer etc myself if I was keeping them as is which I'm...

Thnks for the advice Bruce, tho pretty sure there is no lockout, at least no knurled cap or lever. Having a job identifying the forks to be honest working on the assumption that they colour match the frame - it's an F500. This the second CAAD3 I've owned from the same year, the first had forks...

Update - so today I collected a used F500 (2k I think) with a Fatty Super (seller described as 'smooth, no probs) - and not only is it borked (grinding, bottoming out, headset bearings knacked, big split in rubber boot) but this model has no lockout function evident (just a plastic top cap with...

In good condition if poss

I have 100mm Toras on my Lava Dome SS, but keep them locked out 90 percent of the time unless it gets really rutted or rocky, but the lockout on a headshok is a different league - could be TOO rigid ;-). It really is horses for courses but for smoothing out regular trails (and roads) it does...
