I was hoping you were around. Thanks Dave.

I'm thinking that's one of the ti forks Kona sold in the early '90s. They were quite expensive at the time. It would potentially be a nice fork for a fully-rigid trail bike, but the price would make it unpalatable to me.

It is certainly NOT a Serotta titanium fork nor is it the Kona Titanium Project 2 fork. I asked about this fork before on this forum as well as on the MTBR forum, and came to the conclusion that it is not a Serotta for sure. I also have a couple of the Kona Titaniums and this is also not it. The make was and is still not known.

I do not know why the seller listed the auction as such because he clearly knows that it is not. :confused:

Moratti?

Hi Dave,

I do not think it is a Morati. All the Moratis I have seen are segmented forks and not unicrown. The only 2 unicrown ti forks I know are the Kona titanium (which it is not), and this unknown maker. Recently, I came across Black Sheep which is also doing unicrown titanium forks, but that is way modern so it is not it as well.

I do not know the maker, and when I sold the fork to the guy, I told him so, as well as sent him links to a thread I started here on the Serotta forum as well as the MTBR forum to ask if anyone knew. As far as I know, he does not know the actual maker as well.
