Must Read This Week
I'm sorry, I missed your comment for a long while. The crack was welded up back in 2016, as far as I remember and heat treated as possible by my old chap. Still is on the line btw!! I still ride it nowadays in role of "old but gold" machine
I can provide you with the fresh photos of my bike, feel free to ping me in DM.
Сurrently, Ventana is equipped with Marzocchi Shiver DC 2002. Also, I sometimes equip the bike with the Marzocchi Monster T fork. The are also spare Monster T2 dampers in my vault. Sure, If you can call them "dampers", as they are very simple technically.
(feel free to reach me with questions regarding this setup, as I never consider to sell it)
