wtf???

no one will even pay 300 for a dorado?

[Zaskar]

i know ... i have this sitting around in the garage at home for a year and no one is willing to drop the coin?

[knowles]

03 is getting on the older side

[Rosscofat]

03 was the best year for dorado.. but I think its a 04... 03 was Red 04 was blue for the giant Team DH.. when it came in Blue.. 7" not 6" model.. I could be wrong. tho.

Good fork.

[Zaskar]

300$ is a little cheap side...

SPV vs TPC

04 was 7" and things did change

[Hack On Wheels]

Well, 03 and 04 were both 7" (180mm) I believe, so the 7" figure is neither here nor there (ross, where the did the 6" come from??), also the MRD x-works version was the 8" SPV fork, as opposed to the (normal) dorado dh. So no major difference between 03 and 04 though there may have been numerous tweaks. By 04 or maybe 05 the forks were beefed up somewhat, I think the changes were mainly in the uppers around the crowns.

$300??? Wow, talk about depreciation...
It is tempting, even though I would have no use for it, I mean, who doesn't want a Dorado? At the very least its a sweet wall decoration...kind of like hanging a painting, except better.

have a picture?

all dorados came in 180mm except for that 200mm failure of a fork, i thought you worked at ogc......shouldnt you know this?

[Rosscofat]

umm 03 was 6" atleast from what I remeber on a guys bike who worked there.. 03 had diff legs.. they mounted the Guards Diff also.

Mayb it was custom..

never delt much with dorados now nor when I started.. they were already going away.. X works were the bad ones thats all I remeber.. except the one I got on my cruiser.. that thing sucks up curbs like NO tomorrow

ross, there was never a 6" dorado, there all 7" except for the 8" x-works fork.

[Rosscofat]

Then I guess the one at work was custom. sorrry...
