Re:
I don't seem to be able to find my exact weight, but I'm sure it was a bit over 3lb for a 245mm steerer*, lighter than a standard MAG21 and the XC600/700 (which I could weigh as I have them as well).
You'd need to be looking at RockShox SIDs to get a lighter decent fork.
There are a few more on here too. I've also used the later 2000ish Z3 Flylight Air 100 forks, they are much simpler, look similar and are basically just standard Bombers with the spring taken out and an aircap put on the top.
Could be wrong and that could be 98 Judy SL but certainly low 3lb and no heavier than a normal mag or xc700.
Given they are stiffer longer bulkier forks, what do you expect.
