Laverda 750S motorbikes used to have Paioli forks, hell they were gorgeous and looked way better than the Ohlins forks that most of the opposition had. Never seen a mountainbike one though.

Do you know who made the fork? Is there any names or identifying info on the fork? I remember seeing one in Las Vegas interbike around 97-98. I ws talking to a buddy a couple weeks ago about linkage forks and bnrought this one up but couldn't for the life of me remember who made it. I was thinking Profile Racing, Phil Wood, Paul Comp....... :?
Hurrycat Vorace anyone? Front side up:
A bit like the Fournales/Look tie up, the Hurrycat was marketed by Stronglight. Designed by Eric Barone in partnership with aerospace company SEB and Answer, it was a production version of the fork he used in his 163km/h speed descent attempt in 1998. Founded 2000, bust by 2004
Lightish at 1600g, they run a different geometry, supposedly anti-dive and anti-pedal bob. It's certainly better than Fournales. The legs swing up and back, rather than up and forward on the Fournales/Girving stuff. Publicity videohere on Vimeo.
Mine's a Sport model with aluminium legs...there is a fabled carbon legged version...
All the best,

I have no idea what his name is. Tall guy, curly/fuzzy hair (picture Daniel Stern in Breaking Away). He was from the Toronto, ON area. I tried out his first version (pic below) briefly for a few yards in the pits at the 24 Hours of Adrenaline relay race at Hardwood Hills (Barrie, ON) in 97. The fork in the original pic I posted (gold anodizing) is hanging at Cafe Domestique in Dundas, ON.
