Show it some love and it's got years ahead of it. I dare say after a really good clean and service it could look a lot better.
I think they ride better rigid, so depending on what's in the spares stash fork-wise it could clean up nicely with some elbow grease and servicing.
Poor old thing, looks like its had a hard life. I've resurrected worse Pace forks - cleaning up the ex-elastomer gunk isn't fun though.
What's the branding on the front hub, the wheels are not standard (especially given the on-one branded rims)
I've a Flite for sale, not sure what makes it a red label though (the writing on the rear?)
Mine's a '95 Flite Ti. Let me know if it's what you're looking for
Not a question - more wondering if the patent was Tektro’s or if they just used it. I googled the patent number and it brought up a number of images of similar Tektro products with the same pat number
