Title: 35mm Marzocchi fork tubes available
Post by: sachsmx on May 14, 2003, 08:11:51 AM
I have a pair of nice 35mm Marzocchi fork tubes available. These are the upper chrome tubes only with all internals incl. springs, damper rods, and air caps. These are from a '76 or '77 Penton w/leading axle forks. These are straight and rust free. Asking $100 plus postage. Would consider good evo KTM 420 parts on trade.

If I am reading this correctly, you are looking for straight leg fork tubes.  The one's that sachsmx have are leading axle which are probably longer and won't have the taper at the top of the tube.

After checking the tubes, I found that one is badly scored all but through the plating. I bought these forks complete with sliders only needing the lowers. I was told by the seller that these were good forks and I paid top dollar for them. I am going to contact the guy I got them from (a well known successful vintage racer) to see if I can get some sort of refund since one tube is worthless. It may have been an honest oversight on his part as I didn't see the grooves until I looked more closely.

I might have 1 Marz. 35mm fork tube if it will help. It won't come with the "guts" though....they are being used. I'll check this weekend and get back to you if you want.
