Oh, I made a mistake: I wrote metric. I meant to say they are imperial. Sorry 'bout that. The rest still aplies.

The seals in a Mag fork are all off the shelf metric parts. You can basically order them at any store (at least here in Germany its no problem to get those). Don't cost too much. But you'd have to go through the hassle of measuring them. You should be able to get them for less than half of what...

Its a Sachs, or rather '99 or later SRAM. Plasma. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/v/Manufacturer+Archive/SRAM/1999/1999+-+SRAM+3.jpg.html Edit joglo was faster. :D

Good looking bike despite coming out of the parts bin. Also only took 9 years 😁
