The original ones were straight but I will certainly consider these as an option, thanks a lot.

Worth contacting the seller on these. They're off a 93 frame and Cr-Mo, but very similar to 92 forks in the drop-outs and crucially are 1 ¼". Even genuine Alpinestars. Strip the chrome and repaint. The geometry MIGHT be slightly different, but a very good fork for your 92 frame. Just check the steerer length. Good luck.

Or just go for a suspension fork. Or make me a really stupid offer for my 92 ODS Easton forks and I'll go and unbolt them right now

I've persuaded quite a few US sellers to ship via USPS. My argument is that they've got to box them anyway, it's only the customs form that's different if shipping overseas. Offer them an extra few dollars for the effort, usually works. Or ask one of our friendly American members of they'll receive it and forward it on. Sure the cost will increase a tad, but if the customs declaration is made out as a gift and/or value less than or equal to $15USD, you'll pay no import duty. USPS are the cheapest and best. Worth another try maybe, explain your needs. Spread the Alpinestars love

Thanks, it's steadily growing :facepalm:

That was my plan but the seller is not contactable through ebay which I've not seen before. I might try the american member route though, cheers.

Hi,
Have this, was mounted on a medium A-stars almega, i know it is not original.






I also have a ´91 almega XT fork (aluminum) with color stripped, will fit a 19" Almega and it´s threaded to fit a médium size too, i have no photos but i may not want to sell it... drop me a offer if you are really interested.

Remember, i am based in Spain...

Cheers!

thanks for the info rjsc68.

Are the Al-mega XT forks straighter than the ones pictured?

thanks
