is it my monday morning eyes or is there something odd about the rake of that fork?

He may well have bought it in 1994, but it is of course a 1995 Explosif made of Columbus Max OR. He must have upgraded the Marzocchi XCR to an RC35 when he first bought it, a little matter that has now slipped his mind.

May well be a good bargain for anyone who lives near to TW (Hilts?)

You see the bolts at the front that secure the steerer? They should be at the back. I have a feeling there is no offset in the crown in RC35 crowns, as there is with most forks, but that it gets the offset by holding the stanchions at a slight angle, which is currently reversed. Either way, I wouldn't fancy riding it like that, especially down a hill :shock:

It would take about ten minutes to fix it I think. Quickest way is unbolt the stanchions from the crown, loosen the stem, reverse the crown, turn the stem to face forwards again, re-bolt the stanchions and re-tighten the stem, job done.

I have a feeling there is no offset in the crown in RC36 crowns, as there is with most forks, but that it gets the offset by holding the stanchions at a slight angle, which is currently reversed.
