Post by: showtime on November 11, 2006, 05:23 PM: those look like conventional stems :-\

the Superforks had longer steerer tubes & clamp on stems!
like this the steerer tube could be a lot thicker & stronger as there didn't need to be room for a stem to slip down inside
thats what made thm Superforks ;)

Post by: Stodgy on November 11, 2006, 05:35 PM: Hi Showtime - thanks for the info dude. They are standard 1" quill/shafted stems...

Hoffman made a 1" threaded SuperFork, which I believe you could use either a clamp on stem or a quill - but i could be wrong...I've got a '96 brochure somewhere...let me find out...I've amended the details to 14mm forks until I know for sure!

Post by: showtime on November 11, 2006, 05:40 PM: yeah i've got 1" threaded Superforks on my Taj (pics in the recent Superforks thread) and i'm pretty sure that was the difference ;)
i think the Condor & Taj had the same forks with different decals & those beefier forks you've got are Condor forks from a different year (i reckon) :coolsmiley:

Post by: Stodgy on November 11, 2006, 05:56 PM: Okay, definately NOT Superforks! Thread amended.

The forks are correct for the frame fork kit as can be seen in this pic of an Orange set up( the other colour available at the time).

I don't think it's gay at all, it may be more in touch with it's feminine side that's all :LolLolLolLol:
