I think 2003 or a little bit later - Its the ones with the 3D BLACK decals model is Elite 100/120mm.

Last night I decided at 1am to saw off the canti studs so its only disc. Its for a rat, based on a kona kikapu deluxe stripped frame to which ive just replaced bushes and all the bearings with the replacement kona bearing kit.

Intention was to strip off the paint and let nature coat it in oxide, a few slaps of enamel, some stickers, you know a rat.
Only I sawed too much of an angle and instead of taking the stubs down to the fork, i cut too deeply, and would have to grind away a considerable amount to blend it back in. A bit thin maybe for around the brace area. Probably be fine, but i intend to sell or even gift it to a nephew.

So i think it best just to replace the lowers if i can get another set. New/used is ok.
Stripped it was mint internally, all the pumped in grease,really did its job. So I reckon just a new lower and the project is back on track.

Re:

They are a complete fork - spares or repairs
