Rock Shox Judy help?

[Rsmith]

I've just seen a pair of these forks in a bike shop. NOS and I think they would look good on my red singlespeed project. The shop is asking for £135. Is this too much? They look the same as the ones pictured.
Also some general info about the Judys if you don't mind. I've always thought them to be a good fork, but recently I've been seeing them on pretty low end bikes.

Thanks, Rob

 

[Err]

Far too much, even for NOS, imho.

I bought a pair attached to a kona hahanna for £110....

admittedly not nos but still the same fork.

Yeah I thought it looked a bit pricey. Any idea what I should offer? It is an lbs so the price is somewhat negotiable. I don't want to make an insulting offer though, if you know what I mean.

50 quid

When did Rock Shox downgrade the Judy name? I think it all started with the awful Judy TT in 1999? Up to that point it was their top flight fork - Judy DH - SL- XL - XC

This is a later model Judy. The good ol' Judy was till 98 and after that the the SID took it's place of the top end fork.
In 98 the SID was an extra fork, but it changed place the next year.
This one is quite recent and in my opinion noth worth it.
You could better look for a pre 98 Judy, the look better and easier to service.
