Old Skool Front Suspension Forks.

[adi-66]

Hey Guys 'N' Girls.

Its my first post here so please be nice

I've got a bit of a fascination for anything machanical, that looks a bit different from the ordinary... hence my Daily Hack to work is a Whyte Prst (the Ugly (Beautiful) grey thing, with weird front forks !)

I decided to dust off a couple of my old bikes the other night, just to have a reminess...

My Favourite old bike has 'Quasar - No1' front forks. And I LOVE them, they are the nicest forks i've ever ridden IMO.
Has anyone got any opinions / info on them, i've got a bit but am stuck for any more :-(

Got me thinking about Old Skool front Suspension....

Post you pics & verdicts up please.


Ill Start.

Depends on which model it is, and most importantly. The condition of the Bushes, and shocks !!!

Trust me I know..... the bushes are Effin Expensive !!! as are the Fox Float shocks.

But a general rule: A PRST 1 with full XT groupset, and all the original 'good stuff' should be worth about £500.00
