Marzocchi Star 1989 50mm air

This is where it all began - the Marzocchi STAR fork. In 1989, Marzocchi already had forty years of experience making suspension for everything from motorcycles to the Ferrari Formula One cars, but this was the first time they turned their attention to mountain bikes. It had 50mm of travel and you might be surprised to know that although Marzocchi are best known for pioneering oil and coil suspension, this first fork was air-sprung. At that time Marzocchi worked with an aftermarket company called LARM. One of their agents, Peter Eversdjeke, was in the USA and saw the very first RockShox forks in the market. At the 1989 EICMA Show he showed Andrea Pierantoni the fork. That year the motorcycle business was very slow, so he started to design this fork. Both legs had an independent airspring and there was no external adjustment. For our younger readers, that thread on the steerer tube was how stems were attached before the modern aheadset-style system was introduced. (Pinkbike.com Marzocchi through the years article)

It is really quite amazing that this fork is still fully functional and intact considering the age, so if you are interested in giving life to an old vintage bike and needs its finishing touch then here is your fork. Give her life and do it proud
