SYNCROS Powerlite Rigid Fork - Show some love! And show us yours!

Yeah, maybe fender mounts rather than rack.

Makes more sense!

So, here they are now to my left next to me on the desk. Along with a KLEIN Unifork I just re-painted. <3 The white Powerlite is only for the display shelf (for now), the black Powerlite is for my 1992 MARIN "Team Titanium" and there is one more in my 1993 MERLIN Titanium.

They also have bolts threaded into the the dropouts.

I was about to say, that I've seen a few more powerlite forks already with bolts at at the dropouts. To me as some kind of fix in tightening the dropouts to the legs or protecting for getting lose.
But sure, the screws would be than in the legs.

As this is a gallery, here a few pics. Non of the forks is mine, nor I've done the pictures.

I super highly doubt that they ever came like this .... with additional bolts.

I assumed it was a later modification.

And yet there are quite a few floating around…

Of course there are. There are thousands of riders who mounted whatever on their forks 30% of ALL Manitou boosters have been drilled for reflectors, racks and mud fenders.

I'm sure someone on the Canadian FB site said they came like that for the intended use. Given they sold them and some probably made them or chatted to the guy who made them as they welded up a frame or ten.
If anyone wishes to search the post there to find out... Not me FB search is an arse.

Thanks for your thoughts and replies all!

I bought one today... with a hole in the crown.

Thousands of them had been drilled by the owners.
Whats even more funny is the placement of the decals ...they are all over the place! They seemed to put them just wherever they wanted Some are super high, some are super low! Maybe depending on build year or employee.

By the way: I revised my "Crest" decals to nearest perfection now! Most of the ones you find online are highly inaccurate! I also have the "Hammer n Cycle" stickers as well if you like.

Thousands ?
Given holes in a crown is a minority, that means that's a lot of Powerlite's out there.
How many Powerlite's do you think where made?
RockShox only sold around 21000 forks of it's MAG20/30s..

Given only RM really specified them and then only a couple of years on a few models and they didn't sell many of them...

Nice decals
Close eyes, slap sticker on. Do it the 90s Canadian way.
