My Manitou R7 forks are coming to the end of their useful life as repairs/servicing seem to costly. I've seen new R7 pros on EBay for under £200. Because it's a straight steerer on 26in wheels with 1 1/8th these seem to be my only replacement option. They look like they are OEM from Hong Kong. What do you think. Rip off or genuine article?

why would anyone fake a Manitou fork?! Likely to be legit, OE, and buying direct from the bike factories who are dumping excess stock in the same way the european mail order giants do. I bought a Fox RP23 from a HK seller for ~£60 which was exactly this, eventually sold it on eBay for £90...
oh, and odd user name for someone with manitous... 😉
