2007/2008 3T Funda full carbon front fork 43 mm
Frame and Wheel is bringing to market a 2007/2008 3T Funda full carbon front fork on eBay. The fork was purchased new in February 2010 in the gray market and has had only one owner. The frame was “switched on” to a 2007 Lemond Buenos Aries and raced in 2010. The owner wanted to shorten the wheel base of this bike and lower its weight, whcih he did successfully with this fork. The owner is selling the fork because he is upgrading to a new R3 and does not need an extra fork. The fork has not been ridden in winter weather, it has never been crashed and it is not subject to any recalls. The rake on the fork is 43 mm. It weighs 380 grams. The steer tube has been cut and it is 230 mm or 8 inches long (measured from the race). Star nut included. Head set not included. This fork is being sold as is.
Review of condition.
The fork is in good condition. There are no cracks, fisures or bulges in the steer tube; there are no cracks or fissures around the drop outs; there are no major chips, gouges or blemishes on the blades; and the race is firmly mounted. Frame and Wheel notes the following: the finish and most of the serial number on the underside of the crown has been worn away by debris from the front tire; there are some light scratches on the 3T lettering on the left side of the blade; the finish has been scratched in the area where the front brake bolts onto the fork; and there are some minor chips around the drop outs where the skewer meets the fork. Cervelo Q.C. sticker still attached. Frame and Wheel cleaned and inspected this fork carefully, but cannot guarantee that all imperfections have been spotted.
Frame and Wheel conclusion
This is a very light, strong and areodynamic racing fork that will represent a significant upgrade to a racing bicycle that uses a front fork that has a more slack rake to it or a steel steer tube. It could also act as a suitable replacement fork for some one who is a little behind on the recall of the Wolf SL forks. The fork is identical to the 2008/2009 3T Funda Pro except that the word “Pro” is not printed on the blade. The red color is nice.
