Das ist eine schöne Gabel, mit der hatte ich damals geliebäugelt, dazu zwei kleine Bremsscheiben... Die Gabel ist verstellbar, sollte man aber nicht zu viel von erwarten und wirklich leicht ist sie auch nicht. Kannst Du mal bitte ein Gabelbein wiegen? Saturno hat 4 kg pro Seite. Aprilia RS 250 auch. Hab' gerade eine RS 250 Gabel erstanden, die ich im Winter mal implantieren will. Für die FI Endurance reicht mein Budget leider nicht. Für eine normale FI 40er einstellbar, also das gleiche nur ohne die Schnellverschlüssel, wollte einer auf dem letzten Teilemarkt in Novegro 1500 Euro haben.

Felix, yes my Saturno 500 which was imported into Australia from Japan had Ciriani front forks which looked exactly the same as your F1 endurance forks. They had labels on the lower part which were very faded and nearly impossible to read. Adjustments at the top and at the bottom. Regards Leo PS I haven't worked out how to attach a photograph of my bike to the website yet!

Felix, just had a look at my bike and I think the front forks are different to yours, not easy to see Leo. If I could put a photo in I'm sure you'd be able to see, regards Leo

Dear Leo,
for pics click to "Dateianhänge", afterwards "Dateien hinzufügen" will open. Program will open your computer files. Reduce pic down the 640 x 480 or 800 x 600. Mark your pic and confirm. Afterwards "Im Beitrag anzeigen" will open. If you confirm hopefully your pic will be copied in your report.

Saturnos were never delivered with Cerian forks from new on. In Japan with the FORCELLA ITALIA ENDURANCE 40 mm forks with quick release, all the rest with Marzocchi 40 mm. So the shortage for the manufacturer is not F1, it´s FI

@ Felix:
Weight per leg 3,8 kg but could not compare with Marzocchi. Will do next weekend. Price for an FI actual in Ebay (but not the ones for Saturno) at present 2500 € for two legs. There are a lot of FI endurance forks available even in Magnesium but with different supports for the brakes.
Got mine suitable for Saturno far below 1000 € on the other side of the world (Australia ) and I had to decide within seconds. Leo, hope your fork is still in your bike.

The pic below does not show the correct Saturno ones with 40 mm brake saddle.

Hello HP,
the fork in the Picture looks so short. Is it realy for al 17 Zoll Wheel? And only 3,8 kg. This would be lighter as the original one. "Far below 1000 Euro - that is a good deal if it fits.
Greetings Felix

Felix,
ich habe doch klar geschrieben, dass die Gabelfotos NICHT der Saturnogabel entsprechen.
So what

Prinzipiell richtig, funktioniert aber nicht mehr, ob Privat, im Beruf, etc., überall wo Menschen kommunizieren wird aneinander vorbeigeredet. Nicht anders in diesem Forum, aus einen Fliege entsteht plötzlich ein Elefant.
War das „früher“ besser?, anders?, mag sein. Ich kann mich jedenfalls nicht mehr daran erinnern.

Dear HP and all, thank you very much for the information about attaching a photograph to posts. I'll give it a go but I'm no IT whiz. Interesting about the Forcella Italia Endurance forks fitted on some bikes exported to Japan. Yes, mine are still in the bike and going great. What was the screw at the bottom for? Any adjustment and if so for what? Is there anyway I could get decals to go on each fork? The original decals was so faded that I could not read them, which is what made me think that they were Ciriani. I want experiment on trying to add a photograph to this post but I will try later regards everyone Leo

Hi Leo,

The history of Forcella Italia based on internet informations is some kind of nebulous.
Forcella Italia was take over by Paioli. Ceriani´s brand name was take over in 1997 by Paioli too.
Unclear for me is to find a little Cerian decal below the main Forcella Italia decal. Decals you may find under
https://www.ebay.ie/sch/sis.html?_itemI ... PrRngCbx=1

About what screw you talking about?

How to restore (if there is a need) a Forcella Italia fork see
