Lovely forks these, but the spring stack is the standard one for an 'average' weight rider - in Pace terms between 10 & 12 stone - and I'm about 2 above that :oops:
No-one has the harder springs to buy as an upgrade, so I'm having to face facts that as much as I love these forks, I need something a bit firmer.

So.....2003 RC36 Stealths. Non-lockout version, really nice condition, decals intact, few small paint chips on the cast dropouts. Serviced, greased and damper oil changed regularly. Maybe could do with new seals before winter comes (from Tim at Fork English) but they work fine atm.

About 190mm steerer, 1 1/8", with a star nut fitted. Standard disc mounts - Canti/V-brake studs can be fitted, but it doesn't have any on it. 100mm travel, but can be changed for 80mm with a fiddle of the spring stack.

Looking for something comparably nice/cool as a swap that would suit my Ti Softail, and my bifferish weight :wink:

Can take better photos if needed.
 
I have a set of plush Recon coils which will be going spare soon but don't think they'll be cool/tech enough for that frame.
 
Have you spoken to Tim justbackdated on the forum as he got me some replacements for my 36's recently,just needed a bit of "fettling" ?

Yup, he said he didn't have any hard spring stacks left unfortunately.

would you sell these, or is it swaps only? If you will, what price?

Not looking to sell really. Only afer swaps for a similar or equivalent fork.

Cheers Neil - will bear that in mind :)
 
No worries, let me know if your interested. They are in very good nick and you can wind up the spring with the preload if needed.
