Thsi 1994 is the one. It was my first fork and I liked to remove the boots to ride it all goooold! I'll keep looking for it!!

I found one but it has some crack in brakes brace. I prefer to wait. I should have my old Mag21 partially burned in a fire at my parents house. And I could get a brace. Patience is the queen here.......
Same for headset. For crankset I will go to XTR ATM. Thanks @FluffyChicken !

Whatever you do avoid betting on gold and silver at the same time. If you want to highlight the gold lettering and seat collar, go w/ a black race face turbine crankset, black headset and gold/bronze mag 21. Mavic sunset rims laced to black lx hubs would complement well this build.
You can never go wrong w/ black.
PS: I like the LX black crankset. The vintage is 92 i believe. If i didn´t need the 22-32 rings i would look for one myself.

I'm thinking on it. But I will use XTR in brakes, so some silver will be there. And maybe Crankset at first moment. I'll keep looking for a nice black crank set. And I have a Mavic SUP wheels on surveillance.
Thank you!
At the end, I got this cranks yesterday on Ebay. A little decoulored but they will look nice on it. I also got Cattleprod black stem and a black Harcore stem.
Another theme: Anyone knows the inner diameter of headset housings? 34mm? I want to buy a black unit, but I'm not sure of the dimension, and I would need to dissassemble the headset.

Why not build the bike up with stuff that you have, see how it rides and then buy the stuff you want.
Just willy nilly buying stuff you think look pretty makes it most likely a looker instead of a rider.
Not trying to piss on your parade but if you want to really use the bike I think the approach is wrong.
If you want a wallhanger then you do you.

I want both things. I won't ride it very much. I had some back pain and a hardtail can be difficult to ride after 22 years of fullys. And I want it to be as much Canadian as possible, and crankset liked me verymuch and I got at a nice price ( similar to the XTR I wanted at the begining).
Thank you for your commentaries. But I think that riding quality will be more affected by fork and maybe handlebar. And I vant install something different that a Mag/Judy here and a flat bar. The flat bar maybe is my only doubt here. Maybe I will try a rizer for a while for quality riding for my back!
And I'm a "beginner" and I have no extra stuff, only a DX crankset and some spare cantilevers....

Can't go wrong with those cranks, keeping in mind the shared history of RM and RF.

Headset is oversized, 1 1/8in. No need to disassemble anything.At the end, I got this cranks yesterday on Ebay. A little decoulored but they will look nice on it. I also got Cattleprod black stem and a black Harcore stem.
