I have asked what year these are previously and got a reply - but I've lost the thread :roll: I think I was told 2008 but happy to be corrected.
I sold these on eBay at the weekend and after sending the buyer a message letting him know when they would be posted I received a rude message telling me that he had just looked at the rest of the photos and the forks were disgusting and fit for nothing but scrap. I was told to cancel the courier as delivery would be refused and a refund was demanded. Needless to say I was a little angry. Wanting to maintain my feedback I agreed to cancel the transaction, not before politely mentioning that the photo's were not added after the listing ended - think that went over his head.
Anyway I thought I'd retreat to my happy place and give them a go on here
All the usual terms; PP gift or buyer pays the fees. Reply in thread preferred but not going to insist. Dibs at my discretion. UK postage (myhermes) included. Overseas at cost.
To the best of my knowledge these are in perfect working order. They compress and rebound as they should, the lockout works perfectly and the stanchions are unmarked. There is some bubbling under the paint and some paint flaking at the back of the crown. One of the seals on top of the leg looks like someone has tried to lift it with a screwdriver. This was pretty much my eBay description and exactly the same photo's are used here too. Disc or V brake compatible (post mount adaptor included) but will require studs for V brakes. Steerer is 1 1/8" standard and is 215mm long. Star nut included
I sold them for £91 with free postage on eBay so I'll try £75 posted here.
