Catamount

[Mkane]

There's a frameset local to me and if it the right size and in good condition I may bring it home.

The question I ask is whats a good period front susp. Fork for this? 100 mm I suspect. Is a Judy better than a Marazochi Fly. Arevparts available for either?

Thanks

A short travel fork such as a Judy would be a good option. 100mm would be too much for a Catamount.
There's no real answer to which fork is better, they are both good forks and very different.

As for parts availability, I would think a period correct Judy would be easier to maintain, as it's a simpler design. Which ever you do go for, buy the best one you can.
Be nice to see which model frame you've got.

I’ll post a pic if it comes through.

Second thought. How about a rebuilt mag 21 on that bike.

It says mid frame suspension on the swinging arm

Price is $300.

Price is $317 shipped and headed my way in 2 weeks. Three and a half inch tall head tube which makes it a small. Perfect
