I am selling my Scott Unishock.  It was purchased in June '91 and has the
new seal type, and new brake booster type.  I also had it hand rebuilt by
Scott with new, '92 springs, dampners, and bumpers (I don't believe these
bumpers are on the market yet).  In other words, it's a '92 (yet to be
released) shock, inside a '91 body.  The springs are the type now sold as
add on's for about $40.  The fork itself normally goes for $225 or so.
It weighs 3.0 pounds, and has been slightly modified in the dropouts, to
create a slightly better geometry.  It is 1/8" shorter than a normal Scott
fork, and thus is slightly closer to a normal fork, and handels better.

The steerer tube is about 145mm (Fits in my 20" Klein Rascal with XT headset).

I also have spare seals for it.

It works great, and got a good review in MBA lately.  It is easily adjustable
with a long calibrated hex key supplied with the fork.  With the harder
springs I have I don't have to set the shock as high as I used to.  I weight
165 and am a serious expert class racer.  I used to set it to about 4, 3 if
I was doing a downhill.  I now set it around 1 or 2.  

I have also packed the interior spring section with grease for even better
dampening effects.  

So, make me an offer...
