How can you tell if the frame is suspension corrected? Any give aways? Or do you just want the fork so badly you're prepared to go the extra yard
OK. What are the give aways? Dropout design and two piece stays?
what looks like bonded bottle bosses, drop outs, segmented stays, tigged cable guides, slash cut decals(though he mentioned repaint, i would assume new decals)etcJohn":1rwwvovn said:hollister":1rwwvovn said:cause it looks like a 94 frameJohn":1rwwvovn said:hollister":1rwwvovn said:

I had thought the the frame was a 92 untll Hollister mentioned that it looked like a 94. So dur out the original purchase order from Jez at The Fridge and he was right. It is a 94. It has the bonded waterbottle bosses and the later drop out shape.
I am planning to get a machinest friend to make me a spacer for the fork.
As Holister says it is a non sus fork 385mm. When I bought the frame The Fridge people were getting Greg Fuquay to weld up sus corrected rigid forks. I got one and the axle to crown is 400mm.
So was thinking a 1.5cm spacer/sleeve the same size as the headset should work.

My 93 Race Lite
Got this a little while back. Used to belong to Kurt Ferber - former Machinist/Alignment guy at Bontrager in Santa Cruz.
93 Race Lite with full m900 XTR, Bontrager crowned Judy FSX, Bontrager carbon post and 1-piece bar/stem and BCX 1 and 2 rims... 23.5 pounds soaking wet, and it's a daily rider. Got it to replace my old Race Lite that was nicked from my garage last November. A lucky find, for sure, thanks to one Mr Don Whitehead.
