The "synthesis" between beauty and effectiveness

[Obi-Juan]

I don't know how I answered both at the same time. I'm learning things on this forum by "infused science."

At least there are a couple of rigid Thrusters for sale in Spain and I was tempted to buy one, but the truth is I wanted to wait, I knew that one day a Bromont would appear within my reach.

The fork is really nice, a Marzocchi XC 400.
The decals were very bad, and I didn't recognize it (I'm not really an expert on suspension models outside of Manitou).
I'll have to make a new Marzocchi sticker to restore its beautiful image.
By the way, when I discovered the Marzocchi model, I already knew the year of manufacture for this Sintesi: 1993.

OH! And the fork isn't upside down!
Until 1995 (more or less), Marzocchi installed the crown bolts that hold the bars in place at the front. Then they started installing them at the rear. Since I only have a Marzocchi XC 700, I thought they were installed incorrectly.

My daily is also a Sintesi/Verlicchi Bromount, a red one.

I have all spares for the XC400, that service kits, stickers, tools and more.

Well, I'm home, and so is the bike.
My phone coverage in Collioure was terrible, so I didn't go online much. Plus, I couldn't show anything since they took the package.
I've already taken it apart, and since the power's out, I'll continue cleaning it and everything today.

Thanks for your offer, dr-zocchi.
The truth is, I'd already been looking at your page a few days ago
Today I did a very cursory inspection of the fork, and so far I can confirm that it has two "rounded" bolts...not complicated to fix, although laborious.
Tomorrow I'll take a closer look, as will the shock absorber.
For now, removing the Magura bolts, which are covered in rust and have bolts in very poor condition, has taken too long...
