Could anyone tell me which model forks these are and which year they were made?

At the moment I am thinking mz or mx comp because of the crown but not too sure. It also has an ECC sticker but haven't seen one on the crown there before.

thanks

    have you looked at the stickers? they normally give some info.

    as does the casting mark on the lowers.

    the crown in a common one.

    side pics?

    Im afraid the forks aren't mine so I can't have a proper look. Those are the only pics I have available at the moment :?

    then they could be anything. circa 2003.

    the Marathon SL had the EEC5 and was available in gunmetal grey.

    Ah ok thanks anyway. Do you know of any other forks with ECC around that time? I know of the Z1 MRC but the top cap adjusters and crown shape appear to be different

    work your way through the info on Marzs webby they cover most of them back to 2001.

    but without more info on the forks/better pics have fun.

    You were right turns out its an 03 Marathon SL, sticker actually said ECC5 not ECC. Any idea on 2nd hand value?

    thanks

    read rule 15.

    they are worth whatever someone will pay for them. Or whatever you think they are worth.

    Me, about 10p.

    Ok fair enough. How would you rate them as forks anyway?

    If I was getting them for nowt I'd still be check to see what a service will cost.They're 8 years old and will be a lot heavier than a modern fork.I had a set of Bombers(2003) and they were the worst fork I've had :roll: so I've kept away from Marzocchi ever since.
    If they're free and work go for it.
    Mixed reviews on Mtbr something about 4 chambers being difficult to set up.
