96/97 Marzocchi Z2 forks, 65mm travel, decided to keep them!

[jonnyboy666]

so i bought these forks, not realising that at the time they had a dodgy seal, they were for my fat chance buckshaver, as i was having that resprayed i got the forks done to match and rebuilt them with new bushes and seals, but i have since found that they are too soft for me even though i have now fitted the firm springs, apparently i need the extra firm ones but i have looked and can't find any.

so these cost me:-

£60 to buy
£75 to respray
£17 for the seals
£20 for the bushes
£21 for the springs

so that's £183 altogether

so i want £110 posted for them which i think is fair.

this will also include the standard medium springs aswel.

the stanctions are perfect and everything works. they have the replaceable crown and the steerer is 1 1/8 by 185mm.

the paint is pearl white from Argos cycles

the travel is quoted as 75mm but i think it's a little shorter than that. they have preload and rebound damping adjustments.

any questions please ask but i am off to work in a moment and won't be back until 6am tomorrow

dib here first and follow up with a PM.

cheers

here's the pics!

Then don't buy them.

Commenting on prices is not looked on favourably on here, have a read of the rules.

To be honest, if they had been red I'd have been very interested. Nice looking forks.

did i say they were original? that'll be a no then, they were painted for a specific project.

did i ask for your opinion on MY price? that will also be a NO then.

are you actually interested? probably not, so why kick the tyres of a car you have no intention of buying?

:roll:

not that i have to explain my price to you but i listed why they were priced at £110, which i think is justified. these forks generally go for around £70 in used but working order, but would eventually need money spending on them. i have already spent that money so it is reflected in the sale price.

seals/bushes/oil and time have been spent to make this fork look and work properly, the brand new paint is a bonus to whoever may buy them.

if they don't sell i will just hang them up and continue looking for the correct springs that i need.

feel happy now? have i explained myself enough for you

:roll:

Hello
Seems fine to me.
As a matter of interest, what is/was the length of the fork from the drop outs to the top of the crown and what length did you want?

Regards Ian

What weight rider are the firm springs good for?
