Not sure where to post this fork, but here will do. Maybe someone wants it for their hybrid. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/396728293408

Oh, I have this one on record already. I didnt click it was the one from Sergio. What are the details of your other Scapin?

Brilliant, thank you both. I=Having eyed such a fork in the past it's no wonder it was looking familiar.

I feel like I should know this, but I'm drawing a blank. ID on this fork please?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226806207741 Got some decent parts.

It doesn't look like 1997 to me, but the serial might help. I'll try to remember to check the Italian BBs when I go to my storage on Friday. Are you wanting a 107mm rather than the 113mm you have?

Good question. It appears to have the noodle for cantis which was gone by 1996, but also the chainstay mounts which weren't there on the 1995 models. My guess is that at this point they were making mid-year models and this is a mid-year 1995, but someone based in Italy might be able to give more...

@Jimmy2021 Did you weigh the frame when it wads stripped? These are beautiful frames and very light. Aside from the Italian BB, everything else will be standard, but if you ever feel like scrapping it let me know and I'll happily swap it for a frameset with a British ISO BB shell. Nice to see...

You should be fine with 113 mm instead of 110. Easiest way is just to try it and check the clearance with your cranks. Would you mind sharing the frame number for my records? Looks something like DE418? I have quite a few Italian BBs spare, including the UN7X I took out of my TR-X. It's...

Are they made with standard rims?

I just voted for the one with the best barends.

A few companies sold bikes with frames that shape - Giant and Checker Pig spring to mind. M=Having done a search though, it looks a lot like a Poulidor Avenger. Possible that it came from France?

I don't think it's like that, as they seem to get big batches and often several of the same NOS frames etc. Maybe buying up stock from closing businesses?

Yes, they are always worth checking out because they get a huge amount of rare stuff. High prices, but usually the chance to make an offer. They have a Suspenders fork with Prostop brake at the moment if anyone is desperate for one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/306304289464

Always too small.
