I posted before about an Alps but I am now also in need of a Strata. Anyone who

may have one let me know. Thanks again.

Hi Tom,



I recently bought a local, used '97 Y33 with a Strata Pro, which may be the

original shock.



I'm making that assumption because (1) overall, the bike is clean, in very good

condition with few signs of heavy usage or many miles except for more than a few

paint nicks along the carbon frame and rear linkage (from leaning and/or

transporting?) and (2)  the front shock is a RockShox JudySL, also spec'd as

original equipment from Trek.



I'm thinking about replacing the Strata with a 6.5" Fox or comparable, in part

to slightly lower the rear of the bike, for reasons unrelated to your question.



I've now ridden the bike for a couple of weeks (on the street only; not

off-road) after first having my LBS pump some additional air into it.  The shock

has performed well, with no noises.  I just checked for leaks and found a pencil

eraser-sized spot on my finger from rubbing the bottom of the shock.  I don't

know if that's normal or a sign of leakage.



In any case, I may be willing to part with it in the near future if I can obtain

a replacement shorter shock at a reasonable cost.

I have a Fox Vanilla Coil/Oil shock that is a touch shorter at 6.5" in length if

you are interested in a swap. Otherwise let me know when you are willing to sell

ab also how much you would want.



Thanks

Tom

I have an original strata pro on my bike and it works.  being that it no longer

has replacement parts I was proactive and bought a fox float to replace it the

moment it goes.



I don't know how much it's worth, but if you want it, make a reasonable offer

and I can pull it off the bike and send it.

I have 2 Strata Pro shocks from my Y-33 that I would be willing to sell.

I also have the original Judy SL 80mm fork with medium and firm spring sets.

One of the strata pro has a knob for lockout rather than the cable operated cam

for the Y-33.
