1998 Marzocchi Bomber Mr. T never fitted

[lawwill6]

another regretable sale of something i wanted to hang on to. this time it's a 1998 marzhocchi bomber mr. T. a very rare 4 inch travel triple clamp DH fork. this is the only set i've ever seen in the flesh and was keeping them while waiting for the right frame to come along. however i am completley broke and would like to swap them for some boring but altogether more useful cash.

i'd like to sell them on here before i resort to the nigthmare that is ebay.

let's say £300 ono
based in sunderland

any questions just ask.

thanks

pretty sure they're '98.
1997 was the first year of the bomber and there was only the Z1, the Z2 and the Z3.
in 1998 there was the Z1 BAM in a slightly different orange with newer graphics which match the ones on this fork. this is also the year they branched out and had 3 triple clamp forks. a blue junior T, this orange mr. T and a super duper 6 inch travel super T tho that one may have been in 99.

this is a '97 fork (with twin disc mounts)

this is a '98
