Sold Specialized FSX suspension fork

[Tolsey31]

I got this as part of a job lot. It was described as a Ti version of this fork. Steerer is 125mm approx. Weight is 1418g approx. Maybe someone can tell if it is indeed Ti from the Weight? Looks to have been repainted at some point. £60 posted.

It looks to have titanium bolts and brake bosses
Also looks to have been repainted.
Nice fork.

Specialized never did a Ti version of these forks... instead did an FSX version with carbon legs. Your set looks to have been repainted and then had some Ti bolts fitted. The steerer is steel. The Ti FSX carbon forks came with Alu steerers. None the less a nice fork with some welcome Ti bolts/bosses! and fairly priced too.

Thanks for info. I'm impressed that you guys can recognise a ti bolt from a photo!

i think you will find on certain 93 stump jumpers the fsx fork did in fact come with ti bolts altho not commonly known like the other fsx in the range also came with the m2 brace grey boots etc

Happy to be corrected, got any images of those? Our bike shop I was a mechanic at was UK no1 Specialized dealer / seller in 1993. Never remember such a set pass through the doors. I need to go digging in the old catalogues. Cool to know, love learning something new (or realising I’ve got memory loss with old age)

My scrapped set of FSX had ti bolts/ brake bosses, I still have one of the bosses lying around somewhere

I hang my head in shame and will get my coat… it’s all in the accessories catalogue . Google translate works a treat on these old catalogue images

Here’s me ridding a set of the obviously non Ti ones = great memories.
