£60? Nice price. Too bad it's 200mm. Can't really add that many spacers to my 100mm headset.

hiya, sorry for the tardy reply but i'm working backshifts most of the week so morning or late evening posts at the mo.

lewis1641: the pivots feel good. the spring is pretty stiff. i think it's 300lb or so. i'm 12stone and it feels like a xfirm spring like on my pike forks. it's an interesting bodge.
i think you can still get elastomer replacements or at least i remember a website for proflex riders where someone got them made. i haven't researched it a great deal. sorry. i'm in Z2 heaven so haven't looked into the girvins much.

RB: 200mm does sound quite a bit but then you have to minus the 50mm or so for the upper clamp. The frame it was off had a 125mm headtube and with the upper clamp, stem and headset combined there is only 25mm of spacers left.

thanks again for the interest. offers, part/ex, swaps welcome.

I don't think the spring was a bodge on these. My mate has an identical set that came from the factory like this.

Mine are earlier ones (fork / stem combo) which *did* come with an elastomer, and whilst it's not that difficult to replace with an air shock, spacing available is tighter and the pivots need re-making to suit the shock eyes.

For anyone contemplating buying these, all bushes etc are very simple so worn ones can easily be sorted out.

<edit> Ignore me quoting myself below - it's early and I'm distracted by a bacon buttie!

Excuse my rookie question but currently working on my first project which is a Marin IFT frame and looking for a light suspension fork. Would these suit? How heavy are they?

Thanks in advance!
