Thanks O, I was just checking to see if maybe someone in the states might have some. Shipping 'cross the pond is brutal... :(

what do you UK guys reckon these are worth.Basically the same as a 856 front fork but with a friction shock in leui of ods unit..one thing going for them....they are light and I mean LIGHT!Will need new elastomers to make them workable.I dont think i have the cap and bolt for the top of the steerer but include original bearings and adapter collars for 1 in to 1 and 1/8 head tube.Only cost about 11 quid to ship em 10-25 days....thinking of selling to new forum member but want to sell for a fair (UK) market price

hi all... I'm on the lookout for an 856/857 frame ideally a medium or large (I'm 5' 10")

also I'd love a shiny new carbon swingarm... or an alloy one..... I'm looking to expand my collection!
