A set of Boxxers came on a bike I recently bought on ebay. They're too much for what I need so plan to sell them. Trouble is I can't work out what year they are. Any RS aficionados able to help?

Some things that might help. They have a blue compression and gold floodgate dial on one side and nothing on the other. The axle requires one side to be loosened before it can be unscrewed. I think they might be 2007.

Any ideas what to advertise them for? Work really well but got some minor scratches on one stantion and a few minor bits of cable rub. Is £175 too optimistic?

Either 2006, 2007 or 2008... all effectively the same fork.

IMHO the best Boxxers ever made before the new generation ones.

If I still rode DH I'd have them off you at £175 as a spare pair.

Put them on Ride.io forum and they will go quick.

Yup, 2007/8's I reckon, cracking vintage.

That could almost be my set, which were 07s. Right stickers etc. But tbh old Boxxers didn't vary [i]that [/i]much in the later years anyway. Really nice those.

Price you mentioned seems pretty reasonable, think I took £190 for mine which were in slightly better cosmetic nick, but not by much. (they had loads of spares though) Oh, watch out, the brake mount isn't a standard IS, it's a bloody silly standalone format so if you've got a brake adaptor for them, get it bolted on.

Yep I do have that bundle of spacers and washers. Pretty strange system!

Hi, in the market for a set of forks like these. If you're considering selling then I'd be interested.
