Wanted - Suspension forks for V-brakes

[Steve Kish]

I've recently re-converted my trusty Marin Pine Mountain from hybrid to MTB. Wasn't too hard a job with just a pair of 26" WTB knobblies but I'm now looking at suspension forks.

It has a 1-1/8" threadless steerer and V-brakes and needs at least 210mm of steerer. To keep in with the period look, I don't want any dual brake fittings, just for V-brakes.

Anyone selling something like this?

Re:

Unfortunately for you with disc mount too, but lovely forks with long steerer

Thanks Harry. I'll keep an eye on these as I suspect that 'V only' may be a bit rare.

How about a vintage Manitou shock?
A bit stiff but in great condition...

I might be able to help. I've got a pair of RS Judy forks (I think that's what they are!) that aren't required so I'll check size etc tonight to see if they meet you specs. Won't be much, £10 plus postage which I guess will be about £10/15 with the PO.

Cheers, Ash.

Re:

Thanks Ash. I'd be interested if they fit my spec.

It's got a disc mount :facepalm:

Re:

So... My Manitou fits your description of what you need precisely...
V brakes... No disc mount...

Re:

Sounds promising.

Pic, steerer length, model, condition, location and price ... ?

Any info, Mr Klein ... ?
