Thanks for this information ! I agree that it looks like a turd if you have the stem upright. Doesn't look racy at all. Weight of the bike is now: 10.88 kg. So my wishlist now is Azonic riser bar, Syncros titanium seatpost, Avid tri align frontbrake, Avid Arch Supreme rear brake, Avid SD Ultimate levers Headshok Fatty SL fork, Coda Magic cranks and IRC Mythos XC Kevlar red wall tires (almost on the way).

well
good luck with this project.
Does anyone know what kind of fatty allison rode? the black one that looks more like a pace carbon fork... thoose puppies were awesome.
I had that allison look on my xc-rig -97 with a -20degree profile stem and a riserbar it was pretty cool, same ride height as usual but wider! looked kind of cool on a non cannondale to. everything was a go go in the 90´s!
I almost bought a f800 for around 50euros with xt topmounts but hadn't the time to go pick it up. still regret that, the fork was shot but there's always fattys and leftys for sale cheap somewhere! or just threat the orginal fork with some lube..

Re: well
I think the carbon legged one was a normal Super/Ultra whatever but with those special legs. Probably some kind of a prototype version that never made to production. You can see a similar fork (albeit covered with mud) in Marc Gullickson's bike above.

Re: well
I have a picture from Alisons 'Dale with that fork, unfortunately my scanner doesn't function :?
Here is a recent photo from my Dale.
And I was crazy enough to spend more than EUR 200 on the Coda Magic cranks with the bottom bracket today

Re: grrr
Thanks ! I really have problems with removing the cup on the driveside, so I need to go to the LBS.
I ditched the carbon bottlecages and mounted a simple alu cage. I also received the Syncros titanium seatpost which I won on Ebay.
I don't know what's next. I suppose it will be a Headshok Fatty SL fork.
Still on my wishlist are IRC Mythos Kevlar redwall tires and Avid Arch Supreme brakes.
