It does belong on a hook on the wall. That is where most of them are, for 2 decades. :wink:
While some old forks were good and still worth riding today because all spare parts and upgrades are available, those never been good and no upgrade kits were ever produced. If you want to ride a vintage fork, look for the brands and models that had some success, and that most are still riding. The old Marzzocchi Shiver and Monster series for an example, or some early Rockshox racing forks, were so reliable that freeriders are still riding them and jobbers continue to produce spare parts and upgrades.
