What do you guys know about these forks? What do you think this one is worth? I am looking for 80mm disc and or rim brake compatible and under $100 all inclusive. I had a 2001 Manitou fork like this and it was great but needed a full rebuild before I sold the bike, I rode the tar out of it though...wanted to get your guys opinion if I decide to pull the trigger.
Oh, the EFC rebuild took an unexpected turn. Once I got into the internals I found the right leg was missing a bushing, a c-clip of some sort, and it had been "upgraded" with springs. I use "" because I think the springs are too short which is why the compression is clunky. Haven't had a chance to investigate further. The good news though is that it cleaned up real nice!
Image is everything...
