2001 Monster T (lower crown)

freerideforever · 02-11-2004, 09:31 PM

Howdy:

Well I had my 2001 Monster T lower crown and steerer tube stolen from me. It's a long storey, it wasn't on my bike at the time or anything. Tried trading forks with some guy, he swore he sent the fork that I was supposed to get. Got his mom to send me my fork back, didn't have the lower crown.

I now need to get a new Lower crown for a Monster T and steerer tube. I e-mailed Marzocchi, im waiting for a reply. Any one had to do this before? Any idea how much it might be? Any one know some one with a broken Monster for sale? This fork is mint. And don't feel like paying god knows how much for a new one from Marzocchi.

Thanks for the help.

what an asshole. i just had a similar experience which has left me $175 in the hole, from a creditable seller. so i'm bitter.

holy shit Nate, that sucks rocks. Seriously bad karma for whoever ripped you off.

hope you get it sorted out

I have one you can buy that will fit 2002 and earlyer monsters

jro · 02-12-2004, 07:36 AM

If bobnug's doesnt work out then I would just buy a used complete monster then you will have spare parts. New parts are ridiculisly expensive.
Sorry to hear about you getting ripped off.

your best bet is to find a guy with a cracked crown and get it welded. once it is welded you can heat treat it in your oven. my bro found a link few months ago when he cracked his chain stay. worked out good and good A' new.
good luck with that.

btw why don't you ask his mom for money or your crown. LIFE isn't fair gotta fight to get as bling from other ppl as you can.

Wanna give me a good deal on it?

Thanks guys, i'm going to try and get the rest of it out of him. If not, one day i'll be in Ontario (where he lives) and i'll give him a visit.

Hmmm...

Not ultra convenient for me. 3+ hour drive. It could be done if it has to though...

counterpoint · 02-13-2004, 08:31 PM

full 2001 monster T with drop crown. Completly rebuilt last week with zero leaks. $500.

freerideforever · 02-14-2004, 06:32 AM

What's the point of buying another one?

-Nate

Schaefdog · 02-14-2004, 06:39 AM

my bet is that new crown assembly is going to cost you the better part of 500 bucks anyway, you might as well buy a whole nother fork and have it for spare parts.
