None of those old forks will be working or serviceable - despite what the eBay sellers may think.

older ones are 1.56". iirc, they have the same headtube length, except the xl.
there are old leftys that have adjustable lower collars, so can be adapted to different ht lengths, but that means machining. see the end of the first post here:

servicing can be a pain, but there are a few, who are committed :)

There’s an f800 with a lefty on Retrobike at what looks like a reasonable price but it’s medium so too small for me.
If I bought it and then found a frame that fits on eBay, probably larger or xl, what are the chances of the lefty fork fitting?
There’s a large f800 with headshock fork on eBay, do the headshock and lefty go in the same size headtube? It’s not the normal 1.5” headtube is it? Slightly different I think I’ve read? Also length is going to be critical I imagine so fitting either a lefty or a headshock to a non Cannondale frame is probably more hassle than it’s worth?
