Blimey Orange - that's some frame you've got there! I've got a Judy yellow Ritchey Logic tubed Fuquay frame which he spotted that sparked the conversation off (posted on here before with the Lawwill Leader forks).

Hi Folks, I was catching up with a mate of mine at the weekend - and the subject of his old Fuquay MTB frame came up so I thought I'd post and see if anyone has seen it recently. It was one of Greg's early UK frames and was fillet brazed rather than welded so had nice smooth Cannondale...

...thanks guys, glad you like the bike :D Not strictly retro purist but the frame, forks, headset, seat post and maybe saddle are all from the same era. Frame's also got it's original paint too which is why it looks a little tatty close up :oops: Fuquays don't have the neatest welding...

Hi Folks - thought you might be interested in this: Long story but basically my normal rig broke and I didn't want to ride my fully rigid SS at Enduro 6. Good friend of mine said he could lend me a fine pair of forks with a 1" steerer! It's a Greg Fuquay custom Richey Logic frameset circa...

Ahh, yes just like that! You've not been tempted to try one out on your forks?

I've popped the last of my current set of scans over in the, err, scans forum - Coleman cow from MBUK magazine's Mint Sauce rode a pair of Quasar's from 1995-1996... Deb Murrell and Coleman cow, our two 'sponsored' riders! I hope Deb's doing OK now, after leaving Quasar she managed to only...

The final Mint Sauce appearance of Coleman's Quasar Linx Evolutions that I've spotted, from MBUK magazine summer 1996 edition...

Moo-ving on to a pair of black Linx Evolutions, here Coleman appears in one of my favouite episodes - it also has some of the darkest humour ever to appear in a Mint Sauce...

Thanks to Jo Burt Quasar 'sponsored' Coleman cow for a period between 1995-1996. Here's his first outing on a pair of Linx forks in MBUK's summer 1995 edition.

Ahh, yes some late model Girvin's; they look rather good. Removing the elastomer and having oil damping makes a big difference. They are also cleverly made to keep the manufacturing cost down - one big disadvantage of linkage forks the all the fiddly bits instead of a few pipes and such that you...

Arse or engineering more like... :D

More catalogues and mag review's appearing in t'other forum as promised, I've got a few more things to go on when I get back tonight. Hmm, where did it all go wrong... Well, finding the right elastomer was very tricky, Proflex were spot on there. The Proflex shock is under fairly large...

Well, all the bolts were titanium, other bits would have been but some Russians couldn't read the drawings properly and we had some great parts with holes in where there should have been threads!

Review of the third fork, MTB Pro of course, this time April 1996. Pretty much the same fork as before but with better aluminium legs on and a single long elastomer. Grease nipples dropped for cost/fiddle reasons so it's got sophisticated 'holes' in the links to inject grease through (not my...

Our second fork review of the Quasar Racing Linx, again Paul Smith at MTB Pro - much better results this time! The picture shows some one (or maybe two) off carbon legged forks that were specially fettled for the review. Also fitted with some funky Magura rim brakes thanks to the kind chaps at...

Our first fork review from Paul Smith at MTB Pro magazine, June 1994. Probably the lowest rating for any product reviewed in the mag :D

Version two with a larger elastomer and contained shock shaft so it didn't get covered in crud. Also a clamped steerer mount and grease nipples (two features that then appeared on Girvin's fork, although I could be wrong). More robust fork legs too, and a move away from the expensive CNC...

Here's the brochure for the first #1 fork - and yes the frame in the pictures is a Pace with the stickers removed!

Varied comments indeed :D Scary to see the frankenstien remains of the forks in bits. When I get a chance I'll see if I can do a potted history of the forks. There were basically three models spanning 1994 - 1996. The #1, Linx and Linx Evolution. It looks like the one's that have come...

Howdy folks, Couldn't resist searching for my old employer when I discovered the retro forums - and even more impressed that people have remembered Quasar forks and want to still ride them! I was, for most of the few years they were around, one half of Quasar Racing and still have the...
