I'm still considering a monster to put on my huck project, but only if I can grab one for cheap. The fork is just goddamn plain indestructible...(just an exaggerated figure of speech, I know all forks break.)
U guys r all sissies!!

nothing absolutly nothing imo can beat the feel of my old 00 monster t, best damn thing EVER, never had to change the oil, worry about breaking anything, just ride it, forever, and infact my friend still is riding the exact fork i had. awesome fork, just to heavy for my newer non-huck style riding.
wow just got shown this picture on another forum, thought it was quite appropriate for this thread.
not sure who's it is though.
definitly an intresting choise of setup, but hey i'm not the one riding it so it dosnt matter to me.

I dont know about Marzocchi USA are doing, but it looks like they will be available in Europe. But it looks like the Super is dead.
So if you want some this year then you will have to get some from across the pond.
I think its the same with the shivers

Man i feel like posting a long live the Super T thread!
No fork can touch it for the price.easily one of my favorite forks i have owned,just below the 888,and above the Z1 for my 3 favotorites.
Especially sad when i measuresd a 66 170 axle to crown and it is 1.5" longer than a Super T 170 is.No way to make a flat crown for that baby! :mumble:
It also weighs about the same-66 170 7.3 lbs, 04 Super T 7.75 lbs.
Then there's the 888 170 that ,once you buy flat crowns it is about the same height and weight,just $500 more.Oh well,it's not like i am gonna run some'other brand' fork.

Cool, but I like that third bike better though. hehe.
To all you guys, I have to give props to the Go Ride crew. Their customer service is absolutly unbelievable. When I ordered all my Arrow stuff, that you couldn't get here at that time, their were quick to get the stuff I needed sent directly from Arrow, but unfortunatly I had to leave NYC and missed it, but they got it to me in Denmark with high marks!
Big chippy chip hurraaa!!! goes out to James, Scott, Von, Krispy and who else is there.
Buy your stuff at Go-Ride...

I used to love the Monster T, until the 888 came out. I still like the Monster, but there no point when the 888 is the same, except lighter. Anyways, here's my Demo 9.

Krispy, you're riding the Ventana now?
Joel, what's up, haven't heard from you since Arkansas, why'd you sell the Brooklyn?

In the photo of Kripy's ASX, on the XTR crank, I love the "bling". So funny. James, do you make this stuff up as you post it on the site and wait for the guys to notice, or is there some sort of collaboration with the other guys?leprechaun said:
You should have a picture page of the team working customer service on the phones. Everybody would be like still in thier pajamas, drinking beer, or something funny. How are we gonna know, we're on the phone.
Usually I just put stuff in and wait for somebody to notice. As for the beer-schwilling, PJ-wearing photo, I tried to take it on Wednesday morning last week but the camera was out of batteries.
Wait, what?
Wait, what?
