Anyone know anything about Carbolite full sus

How easy are the shocks to service?
Could be an interesting new project.

Looks cool.The final year full DX(

) RF+ groupset dates it 93/4.Looks like the swing arm is cast,I`d be very wary of crack there.

Re:

The rear shock seems similar to the Verlicchi bikes. I think it's a Marzocchi. These were quite common bitd.

Re:

Have only ever seen a picture of a hardtail before but this looks cool, carbon frame would be stronger than the cast swing arm though, can't help you with the shock though.

Def a Marzocchi rear shock as fitted to the Verlicchi frames(and Kona/Iron Horse/Sintesi/Diamondback etc) and the forks look like Marzocchi XC51.Both easily worked on.Buy it.......

Ok so i now own this and collecting on Friday but i can't find ANY info on CarboLite apart from a pic of a different full sus frame that danson67 has put on my Unicorn wanted thread.

Can anyone shed any lite on this brand?

Shock is an air Marzocchi. Normal shock pump required.

As for the brand, rings distant bells, too distant to remember anything more than vagaries.

Looks like a carbon version of the Verlicchi/ Iron horse

Re:

Was a bit confused on the year, thought about 92/93 but it seems to have disc mounts on the swing arm?

I think thats a mix of two bikes, old parts on a slightly newer frame after the usual upgrades of the day. Check the date codes on the parts and I'll bet they're from 1992 and the frame is from 1994/5
