Mate's ancient Cannondale F500 Headshock fork thingy is clunking.

TF tuned have said this is too old...

Any suggestions as to where he might look to get it serviced/repaired.

Many thanks.

A guy called Steve Lockart : aka Spannerman used to service these but he's moved on from the bike industry.

I am still in touch with Steve on Facebook and can message him if that helps.

Interested ! Was he the guy who started a pic heavy thread just before the great STW site crash ? I could never recover that thread which was excellent.
Watching this with interest

"Clunking" can be dangerous to internals. Your friend better stop riding it before some greater damage occurs. Dismantle-Diagnose-Repair is the very next thing you should think of when you notice "clunking".
