Glad you got what you was after @Snowy and you did your due diligence beforehand. Looks like a great result.Hi all, I was informed that this person who posted the pictures of the fork I was after maybe a scammer & I had added my email address & phone number, then Thursday I had a phone call from this person & we came to a agreement that he would list the fork on ebay & then I would purchase it, which I did. It came today & its in superb condition for a 21 year old fork & I am very pleased with it.
Sorry for the delay in replying but I have been very busy sorting parts & having the forks fitted I did not have crown race puller & did not want to start chiselling away at it, so I took it to a new bike shop in town, which deals with mainly KTM electric bikes, called Electric Avenue & they did a superb. I have now received the Shimano Deore XT FC-M760 crank set with 170mm cranks from USA & arranging for them to be fitted with the Hope stainless steel 68-73mm bottom bracket that I ordered from them. Parts I have replaced areGlad you got what you was after @Snowy and you did your due diligence beforehand. Looks like a great result.
