  • All lefties have clamps designed to mate with 1.56" steerers except the new single crowned occhio which has a 'normal' tapered steerer.

    So yes, any lefty - as long the vertical clamp spacing is tall enough - will fit your frame. And because way back they all used the same head tube regardless of frame size it's easy to fit an old lefty to an old frame - the only thing you need is the steerer and you don't need to worry about spacers and whatnot.

    If you really want one I'd look out for one that works! Something from 2008 onwards It's probably impossible to get a really old, really broken one working again now.

  • Tx!

    It's a 2000 one, so it has to go really cheap.

    I'd say it needs at least needle bearings / races... It would be a curiosity thing inspired by your fork fix. Failure rate: uncomfortably high ;)

    I agree it's to get a whole bike/fork, but I had little luck on eBay. Too big/won't ship, pulled off eBay, dents and they are neigh impossible to find in NI.

    You could sink a lot of money and time in to that :)
