These are probably the nicest condition retro forks I've had my hand on in a long time. Bought for a project I'm no longer going ahead with so looking to find them a new home.
1 1/8 ahead steerer, 180mn long.
Condition wise they are in extremely good shape. Very few minor marks to the paint. decals are very tidy, there are some marks to them but for a fork of this ege, amazing condition really.
Stanchions are clean as a whistle, preload dials are minty and fully working, as is the damper cartridge. Ti springs with an elastomer in the stack (as designed/factory) which look brand new.
The only thing I can fault them for is that one of the springs makes a dull twang, having had the forks apart, cleaned and reassembled I think it's simply down to a slight bend in a spring as they move up and down freely without the springs fitted, and with one fitted, the same. Not sure if the offending spring can be straightened, but can certainly be replaced with an equivalent or a full elastomer stack.
** update. It's actually not a spring that's making the noise as such, it's the plastic bit that sits on the spring. It seems to be rubbing slightly but after a few compressions, eases off. I'll give it a lube and see if that solves it **
Includes original service manual too
Many pics to show condition,.
Asking for £50 Inc UK postage.
Any questions, fire away.
