Did this particular P2 fork ever exist?

[garethrl]

I've tried searching but couldn't get a definitive Yea or Nay. So, was there ever a production P2 fork that was:

- non-suspension corrected
- 1 1/8" threadless steerer
- triple butted
- curved legs
- black
- with disk tab

Actually, for that matter, does anyone know of a rigid fork that matches all of the above, and ideally not a 1.2kg jump bike fork? I currently have a Pace RC31 on an old ParkPre frame, and a curved steel fork would look better - just an idea I have running through my mind ...

Cheers, Gareth.

I doubt it very much . My P2 tick all the boxes aprt the suspension corrected bit , I think they are 410mm high .

Any chance you could post a pic, or a link to a similar item? I might just get away with 410mm, will need to measure up the Pace crown-axle later.

Cheers, Gareth.

frame is a Sunn exact from 1998 , whcih was designed around a Sunn Obyss fork with 55mm movement .

Looks nice, but isn't it a straight leg fork, with rake?? Having said that, curved over straight leg is the least of my concerns.

The ParkPre frame at one stage had an old RS with about 50mm travel on it, though I doubt it was the original fork. So a 410mm fork might well work.

Cheers, Gareth.

P2 forks are straight .

And in fact that was the main purpose of the original posting ...

For some reason I have the idea that I've seen pics of curved P2's - have they ever existed, or am I going mad??

 

[cchris2lou]

very early ones , pre 1990 were .

 

[garethrl]

Ah, so there goes the disk tab then! Thanks for the clarification!

Cheers, Gareth.
