I like the sticker bombed forks, especially the Quiksilver one on the stanchion.

If the bike doesn't go for more than 600 the boxxer forks and wide handlebars will not be included in sale.

So you'll be bidding on something that may or may not include the stuff that is currently included in the auction. Nice!

Makes you wonder what's under the sticker on the stanchion if by his own admission it's covering up dammage!

How long are the stantions? How much travel do Boxxers have? I mean loads but even so...

The exposed bit of the stantions looks way longer than the sliders - which can't be good.

Thing is the Banshee is actually a decent enough bike, doesn't deserve that horror show!

If the bike doesn't go for more than 600 the boxxer forks and wide handlebars will not be included in sale

If that bike DOES go for more than £600 I'll eat the front tyre

Dual crowns are different, they're like motorbike forks in that the stanchions can be slid through the crowns- you can adjust fork height, geometry etc this way and by swapping top crowns so it's common to have more than 200mm of stanchion. (Those ones still do look extra long but I think it might just be an optical illusion.)

I'm tempted by those, if only they had slightly longer forks to complete the chopper image.

Wow. I think that's the best one I've seen.

So long as it's made of marzipan.
