Recently acquired a Manitou SX Ti fork for which I have no use...thought somebody here might. No disc mounts and an (unusual?) 1" cro-mo steerer make me think it's mid- to late-90s, but I'm not sure of the age.
All adjusters turn freely, stanchions/seals look great, boots are clean/supple/intact, no oil leaks, no rust. Most decals have been removed but the paint is excellent...a few light nicks/scratches (worst is ~1/8" x 1/2" on back of right leg). Steerer is a bit short, at 180mm. No idea what the travel is...70-80mm?
I don't have anything with a 1" headtube to test it on, but pushing on the crown it seems to work as intended. I can hear the oil squishing around, and the motion is definitely damped. Story I'm told is that it was ridden briefly when new, then stored. I'm no fork guru, but judging by the condition, I believe it.
Is GBP50 out of line? It's currently in the USA, so consider shipping/duties as well.
