Yep...good luck. Gonna have to be old and used. Look for a 2002 djer but they didn't have air assist.

"marzocchi bomber", and "less then 100$" shouldent be used in the same sentence. unless the sentence is "you will not find a marzocchi bomber fork for less than 100$"

Ive seen EXR's go for $100 and the 2001 Z models go for $150-200 on ebay.

And we are talking Canadian

But I woudn't go used with newer Zokes with croyfit. Creaks like a banshee. MY new fork is already starting to creak and I only do XC rides on it.

I hope they decide to bring the bolt on back. Creak-O-fit isn't working out for me

They won't and really since 2002 breakages are way down and still better than other forks for aggresive riding. And bolt on being better is simply a myth perpetuated by 12 year olds from nsmb and pinkbike. Breakages were still big then too.

The MrT beig an exception. That fork seems to be indestructable. (sp)

I find that my friends 1999 or 2000 Z2 AtomBomb is definetly soild. Maybe becasue its a 63mm but definetly love the old school ones much more. But even then, when you crack a crown or break a leg, its all replaceable.

Still is (lowers, stanchions and crowns). The cryofit is still a much better idea in theory. 2003 and 2004 are decent years but 2002 (the first year they used it) the forks suck.

I like the bolt on arches for look though. I would have loved to do a custom M :)

Maybe we should make a new saying.....something like......

"If you dont know what your talking about, dont say anything at all" http://www.cripplefight.com/smileys/punk.gif

Definetly agree on the M bolt on arches looking good. Super good looking on the monster T. Cryofit is a good idea since it supposdly saves weight and I have yet to try a 2004 Marzocchi. So maybe I should give it a go before making fun of the cryofit.

I would say 20$-30$ so thats how much im going to sell it to you for. Personally, i just want to get rid of it. So 20$ would make me happy. Unless it's worth more, in which case, i would probably up the price

if you can get 20 out of it, don't think twice.
