Hi
For sale are my much loved but much neglected Marzocchi DH3s. I bought these new in 1997 and rode them for about 18 months before I bought a longer travel fork. In that time they rode perfectly without any problems. Since then they have sat in my garage gathering dust.
They are in excellent condition, with no scratches or dings - the paint is as shiny green as the day I bought them. The stickers are starting to peel round the edges though.
As they have been sitting idle for the last 10 years(!) they have of course lost air pressure. I've pumped them up today and the action is smooth and supple, but they don't hold pressure for more than a few minutes. They'll need a decent service - perhaps just replacing the oil and lubricating the o-rings, but they may need replacing.
The stanchions are unmarked, and the action is very smooth.
So all in all, I'm sure this will be a good retro fork for someone wanting to create THE bike of 1995 - and is happy to put in a bit of time to service the inernals. I have the manual to pass over if anyone is interested in these forks.
Steerer tube is 190mm
£35! Bargain
