FS: NOS BRC road bike suspension fork

For sale: NOS Bradbury Racing Components suspension fork.

Spec:
-Brand new, never been mounted.
-1" threaded 230mm
-Axle to crown 393mm at full extension. maybe count on 8-10mm of sag
-weight 990g
-Stanchions are 1"
-Offset: kind of a pain to measure without table and v-block. rough guess >45mm
-Tyre clearance shown with a 22mm conti competition. I suspect a 24mm or 25mm tub would fit but don't have anything on hand to test. Definitely not going to take some of the more modern wide 27/28mm pave tyres.
-advertised travel: 1"
-actual travel with me pressing on it 18mm. this might increase with break in.
-Comes with strip down/service instructions and long 3/16" hex key. (only one box had this so it goes with the first fork sold.)
-feel suprisingly good, seals not dried out, not too much stiction.
-looks like we thought the future would look in 1994

I want to sell a couple of these for the shop I work at. The story is that these came with a lot of old tools and equipment from the Cilo factory when it shut down. It probably was supplied to a Cilo sponsored team who never used it. I have never ridden one of these forks, nor do I know anyone who has. According to the internets these were manufactured by Doug Bradbury of Manitou fame for use in Paris Roubaix and other classics, but the suspension for Paris-Roubaix fad died out before it caught on in the market. Could be cool for a retro Paris-Roubaix bike. £150 each plus postage or collection from Geneva, Switzerland.
Regards,
James
