FS: Old Bontrager Switchblades MTB fork
Goin waaay back. Piece of history. This is the fork that started the whole
suspension fork w/replacable crown. This fork uses thinwall, tapered chrome-moly legs with bonded-in alloy dropout. The legs slipped into the patented alloy crown and secured with bolts. A slip-in steerer was used. The 1st Rock-Shox RS-1 used this same technology and licensed the design. This fork is in great shape. It was made for the bike trade show. The legs are chromed. The crown is anodized black. The steerer tube is Titanium with carbon reinforcement in the bottom. All bolts are polished stainless. The canti studs are moveable with a screw. Some mild heat to soften the threadlock is needed. I have the fork set up for 700c wheels and a 30mm tire. Slide the canti studs down to the next stop for 26" wheel. Killer fork. Few of these were sold, fewer still around . Killer retro fork for a retro bike. I was using it on my hybrid, but went to a carbon fork.. $75 + mail. |
