2). The catalog scans of the of the era will confirm #1.
3). I bought that same bike, orginal, 5 years ago. Sold it 2 years ago, so no pictures unfortunately. The fork was painted.
4) I have replaced a number of bent/broken MTB forks over the years with ubiquitous chrome tange replacement forks. I still have several NOS ones in the barn.
interesting. I’ve seen numerous pics of different Cimarrons with the ubiquitous chrome fork. I just assumed this was the color scheme for this period. I think this model is a 1989 year bc of the brake placement. Would you be interested in selling one of your forks? I really like the braze ons
