They don't appear to be suspension forks as described in the listing.

The (very short) listing is crammed with mistakes...

Title is 'marin elderidge' What the hell? Eldridge Grade perhaps?

Lower case 'i' used for first person reference

Using the term 'ally'

But perhaps this is the one? £199 start and no BiN, but the descriptions says £250 BiN?

Did I get it?

Edit: I didn't get it - Didn't see the second link!

I wonder if it got paid for by 'bnakers' draft?

I also see it features 'Maveric X171' rims I wonder how they compare to Mavic's X171 rims?

Great stuff. The innovation to quicken up the steering is inspired of course

Thing is I see lots of bikes with the forks on the wrong way round and always cring, thinking if the forks would with stand those forces the wrong way round?
