So you have a pair of Marzocchi Shivers DC for sale then ?
Nope, but try a wanted ad in the wanted section. With a little bit of patience that will work.

Already put an add for triple clamps in, no joy. Although a set came up a few days later and sold quickly, I guess gold traders don't look in wanted.......
There is a pair on ebay.de but currently at 250 quid with 4 days to go which frankly is too expensive and a pair on Pinkbike but the guy (who I contacted 4 days ago) won't post to France because he wants a quick sale and someone is coming to look at them at the weekend
Apologies if this is coming over as me being a miserable sod.
No need for apologies.

I know that feeling well enough when you want a certain bike part badly and it is simply not available at my own conditions. For me to battle my own impatience is - besides riding - the most fun i get out of this whole retrobike thing. With enough money everything would be theoretically available but my amount of cash that i can loosen up for bike parts is near the amount i had availaible when i was 14 years old.

I'm on the lookout for certain parts for about 3 or 4 years now and i still believe one day these parts will find their way to me through a friendly chap from retrobike.co.uk

Obviously i have no solution. All i got for you are these encouraging words.
