Time Avant Stiff carbon fiber front fork

Sold: $68.00

Time Avant Stiff carbon front fork

Frame and Wheel is auctioning a Time Avant Stiff carbon fiber front fork on the Frame and Wheel eBay store. The fork was purchased new about five years ago and was originally mounted on a 2005 Obrea. The fork was ridden for two seasons and never crashed. It was switched out when the owner sold the Obrea. It has been in storage ever since. The owner is selling the fork because he no longer rides frequently and he is clearing out his inventory of cycling gear. The fork features full carbon steer tube, alloy drop outs and exceptional lateral stiffness. The fork weighs 410 grams. The steer tube has been cut and is 237 mm (9.5 inches) long measured from the crown. The crown race is included and the star nut is included. There are 20 images of the fork at Frame and Wheel eBay Selling Services and on Facebook at Frame and Wheel. Please take a look. The fork is being sold as is.

Review of condition

The fork is in good condition with only light signs of wear. There are no cracks, fissures or bulges in the steer tube or the blades. There is very little wear on the underside of the crown. The tabs on the drop out are intact. Frame and Wheel notes the following. There are six light horizontal scratches about 10 mm in length on the inside of the left blade. There is a vertical scratch about 40 mm in length on the inside of left blade. There are markings around the front brake bolt hole. The white graphics have faded to a creamy white. The crown race does not remain pressed onto the crown and thus Frame and Wheel cannot be sure that this is the original race. Frame and Wheel cleaned and inspected this fork carefully, but cannot guarantee that all imperfections have been spotted.

Frame and Wheel conclusion

This fork is stiff and strong and will make a great upgrade for a cyclocross bike. It is in good condition and still full of many hours of riding.
