Yeah me too,
Always thought they were nifty piece of engineering, what travel were they?
Having a bit of a Look Fournales thing going on at the moment.
You even get a disc mount with them, you know where I'm coming from

My AMP's have about 65mm travel and are superlight. These above though aren't AMP's - I was wondering what they are. The ebay ad says ICE :?:

They look interesting.

Isn't there a company making an AMP style fork with that side mounted shock arrangement still?

I'm sure I saw a pic. of one in a mag a couple of months ago. This looks very similar to that one but in alloy instead of carbon.

There is.....

GA Force Kilo

But these are kind of 'backwards' AMPs as far as I can tell, and at 950 euro not the cheapest out there. :shock:

There was a UK company that made a similar fork BITD.....what was their name?? :?

 

[orange71]

you're not thinking of the Quasar forks are you? They were more like Vectors than AMPs.

Yes and they didnt work very well either! Then again all multi pivot forks have issues with wear. Just some were slightly better than others.

I still think a pivot type! fork gives a plusher ride than all the early Teles!
If like me you were a light or smooth rider. There fragile nature didnt forgive bad lines out on the trails.
