Scott Unishock Fork 1991 1 1/8 (none recall model) Wanted

[drexal77]

Hi guys,

Been re-searching this now for a few weeks, and got about 700 screen grabs stored up of Scott Unishock forks. I know this is probably an impossible find. But i was after a 1991 (none recall model) scott unishock fork 1 1/8.

I don't care about the cosmetic condition, it would be amazing if they functioned, but if there stuck thats ok.

From my research it seems only the forks made from 1991 till 1992 were safe from the recall. Please correct me if this is wrong.
And that it was mainly the first white leg coil spring versions (not the elastomer version) that were safe from the recall.

But this thread below shows a full on carbon / with elastomer scott fork from 1991 so i've become a little confused.

If any of OG Scott lovers has a timeline with corresponding images of first unishock models that were sold in 1991, could you please post it?

In the scott catalogues there were no unishocks until the 92 catalgoue and its seems all bikes released with them were included in the recall.

Also i know some have said that its just a as dangerous to be riding a 30 year old aluminum frame as it is to ride a recall unishock and as this fork would just be used to riding around mainly flat roads and toe paths not bombing down hills etc i will probably just go for a recall verison if its impossible to get a 1991 pre-recall version.

If anyone has one they want to park with please do let me know.

To anyone that replies thanks so much for the help and advice.

Nah, they're 1994 model foks, the title just hasn't been changed.

1991 as 1992 if just called Scott Unishock in white or black, usually seen in white,should be fine. It was a change or something to the bonding in the 93 and 94 models.
(From memory).
I say fine, the recall was recent bonding of some so all get recalled. Not 33 year old bonding which could be as brittle as anything by now, who knows ;-)

You'll have metal springs inside (main spring), unless they have been 'updated'

@FluffyChicken you are the greatest, your knowledge is unreal. Thanks so much for replying. I see quite a few white ones with the green Scott logo down each side. Do you know when they released though’s?
