Rockshox Paris Roubaix SL-Ti 700c Road Bike Suspension Fork: RARE!

This one's a bit of an oddity.  The fork is definitely for 700c and is physically just like our NOS Paris Roubaix SL, but it has Mag 21 SL-Ti decals and the same finish as a Mag21.  

In 1992, 1993, and 1994, French riders (Gilbert Duclos-Lassalle and Andre Tchmil) swept big wins at the Paris Roubaix race, due to this fork!  The 30mm of suspension it provided smoothed out the cobbles enough for a major advantage over rigid forks.  Speculation at the time was this was the next big thing...The nix was put on that idea by a remarkably strong Mapei team who won 5 of the following 6 years.  Ernesto Colnago and builder Ugo DeRosa would not allow their riders to use the Rockshox fork, and the road suspension fork died off.  One of the more prominent photos of this fork are on a lovely blue and yellow Lemond GLx, which is a replica of Gilbert Duclos-Lassalle's winning bike.

The Paris-Roubaix SL was designed on the platform of the Mag21 SL TI.  They swapped in different dampers allowing for 30mm of travel, and included a full lockout!  This is a 1993 or 1994 model which has the damping adjuster knobs at the top of each leg, allowing for 6 different firmness settings all the way to fully locked out.  

Condition

Fully functional, and overall great shape.  The finish has that deterorated state the Mag21 was infamous for, and there's a slight oil leak past the seals when you compress the shock.  The squiggly black lines on the lowers are NOT cracks.  These happened to this particular finish, and is purely cosmetic. Travel is smooth with great compression.  Stanchions are scratch free.  The only physical wear is on the brake brace (we have NOS one's for sale HERE)
