    wsell they look to be 2000 so you should be OK but if they do have an earlier leg then they could be the Formula Standard mount.

    they were very goo forks in there day but consider they are 8 years old.

    buying 8 year old forks could mean ur buying a liability, if i were you i would save a bit longer and get some more up to date forks

    Have you considered rigids? Much easier to buy 2nd hand - far less to go wrong!
