The whole idea is to refute the 1.5 standard. It uses a standard 1 1/8 steerer.

I just signed up for one and should have my grubby hands on one sometime in March.

Since I've had some ride-time on the Sherman and the Z1, I'll fill you in.

Right, so have I. I didn't mean the thickness was standard, I just meant the diameter was "standard." The walls near the crown are beefy.

I can't wait to get mine!!! :D

Should be a sweet fork, but it's not much lighter than the Jr T or Super T. I LOVE the Super T, but the 2Step will no longer be warranteed with a DC fork, so I figure I'd be legit and put a single-crown up there, otherwise I would just go for the Super.

I've been riding the Sherman for awhile and, honestly, I'm not super impressed with it. I guess it's good for those who aren't die-hard Marzocchi fans. I just missed the plushness of the Marzocchi so much it killed me.

The Z1 150 should be the bomb!

well i ordered it from my friend David at Marzocchi... back in November...

the fork is Ti color near then axle, then as you go up it fades to the Super T silver. the stancion legs are TiNitrate coded, but are BLACK!. and the top crown is Powdercoated black aswell.

oooohhhh yea, can't wait for this one!
