i got a line on a 98 mr T,no upper stantions,but the pimpin' through axle dropouts are pure brilliance in my eyes.
for the price,i can afford to pick it up AND get another DC or keep the one i have right now and have 2 forks for my letoy:eek:
i'm pretty sold on the fork.it looks solid as hell and is definatly a pimpin peiece of machinery(in my eyes,anyways).110mm of travel..handbuilt.
what do you ya'll say?it's in decent condition,and i love the old stuff.
any feedback from anyone who's ridden one or owns one?i know a few people on here ran them or currently DO run them.
thanks:)

Never ridden one, but, next to the 98 super, that's the pimpest fork marzocchi's made!

You'll love the fork…Probably have to replace the seals though…

It's similar to my 2000 Jr.T, which I love…

I rode one back when they where new and loved it…

yes…but the one i am getting is void of the upper stantions,thus making it only a SC fork.

Which makes it similar to my 2000 Z3 QR20…

All the internals back then where identical, almost…

hmmm…but the pure pimping factor of the handbuit 98 Mr T is calling me…and the pimping through axel.
