What’s the steerer length?

I just knew you were going to ask me that! Will have to check tomorrow, it was from a 19" frame and as far as I know is uncut.

In response to queries: steerer tube length is 180mm.

see above - 180mm!

were all rockstar forks the same? As in did they have different tubing?

Not an expert, but I think any 11/8" threaded fork should fit a frame with a 11/8" headtube, assuming you have an appropriate threaded headset installed. The main thing is that the fork steerer length is long enough for the headtube on your frame, and the quill stem or quill adapter you have installed.

Pretty sure any Marin frame of that period - early-mid 90s, and possibly later - should work with any Rockstar fork.

Any Marin experts out there want to correct me?

No they are different. There is a cheap version and a better version. The more expensive ones found on teams and pine mountains etc were lighter.....750g ( if you have a 15" frame).

earlier ones are tange tubing....latter something else designed by marin (probably to cut costs....same with the frames).
