WTB- 80mm or 100mm fork

[Wolfchimp]

So as some may know, I am building up a new Jamis Dragon frame. I was going to run a Marzocchi MX Pro 120mm fork on it for the time being but I starting assembling it and realized there is NO way that fork can go on that frame. I am looking for a higher end 80mm or maybe 100mm air fork. I weigh about 190-200lbs so a Rock Shox SID wont cut it. If anyone has something they would like to sell, post up or shoot me a PM. I would be willing to trade the Marzocchi also.

Thanks!

Porter,
I have a Rock Shox Duke Race (80mm) that I took off my Fuel 98. It has only about 500 miles on it, but should be rebuilt. Here is an example.

I can measure the steerer for you if you want. $60? Send me a PM if you are interested.

Is it that ice blue, because that is one ugly fork! Ha ha ha. I am not sure I want to go with a RS Duke. I have many friends that have had problems with them in the past. Measure up the steer tube anyways. Thanks Gregg

No one has a decent 80-100mm fork they want to sell?

Exactly...it wouldnt last long on my bike. :scream:

BUMP....thought I'd ask one more time if anyone has a nicer 80mm fork they would like to sell. Thanks!

I've got an almost brand new 100 mmm Manitou from a few years ago. I would love to sell it. It is red and in its box at home. I don't remember any details. The fork did not fit the geometry of the bike I put it on so I took it off and never got around to returning it. Let me know if your interested. Lars

Thanks Lars...I appreciate the post. I am leaning towards a 80mm now due to the geometry of my frame.

Being the scrawny guy that I am, I would be interested in an 80mm SID if anyone has one they are looking to get rid of. Oh yeah...8.5" min tube.

I know that Dan Gerber[danger!] has a SID he may be looking to sell.:D

Matt-I've got an older SID that has Englund Air cartridges in it. I'll have to measure the steer tube, and get back to you.

Thanks Porter! :D

Well the fork situation is settled! I picked up a 2002 Marzocchi Marathon Race 80mm. It should be a nice fit for the Dragon!!!

[Whatsmymantra?]

I was wrong it is a Marzocchi and it is red. Still available.

[Wolfchimp]

So yeah....the fork I got is a POS. When it arrived it was not as advertised! Arrangements are being madeto have it shipped back to the seller for a full refund. AGAIN...I am in the market for a new fork, 80mm, higher end. Please keep your eyes and ears open! Thanks.

Whats the fork model on this Lars? And how much? Thanks.

I ride an 02 marzocchi Z2 80 on my Dragon and its a perfect fit for me. I tried a 100 Z3 coil but it just didn't feel right and was too raked out for my taste and or just didnt fit the ride I wanted on the dragon. In its current set up its light, fast, agile, and did i mention fast.

Have fun with dragon, its a sweet ride and but of course steel is real

Hi there on my way to find the fork this morning I found a wet basement. I wound up bailing out my basement and forgot to look at the fork. I do believe it is the Z3 but I'll have to check when I get home.
