Picked up a 2008 Magura Laurin 130AM for 372.60. Originally they were around 665. The White version for a little more, 403.60. Free shipping and a T-shirt to boot. I got mine on Friday. Haven't seen many Magura forks around. The fork has air pressure adjustment, adjustable Albert Select Comp damping (can act like lockout) and adjustable rebound. The included hose guide is kind of cheesy, basically just a plastic clip that screws in. Fork also comes with a pump. Here are some pics:

Nice find! Looks nice. I've heard good things about the Magura forks, but don't know anyone that has one. I'm looking forward to a product review when you get her dirty.

As for the hose guide, I think to plastic screw-ins are fairly common. My 36 TALAS RC2 came with one like that and that fork retailed for over $1,000 at the time.

Before you buy there, I'm thinking I may have a 2009 Magura fork for sale soon. It's the 140mm travel Thor, complete with 20mm quick-release Maxle. It's got adjustable travel of either 100mm or 140, and comes with a remote for the handlebar. It's lighter than a Fox Float, is white and has very light use. The steerer tube is cut at 6.75" high, which is pretty short, so if you run a tall stack it won't be for you.

I'll also have an 09 Fox Float for sale soon.

If you're in the market, pm me. I'll probably get around to taking some pictures and listing them on here in the next couple weeks. More stuff in the classified?...QuietStorm will be PISSED!

Thanks Pacman. Yeah my 09 Vanilla has the same hose guide as yours. The Magura one is way different. It attaches on the back of the left slider near the top. It's basically a "U" shaped plastic piece with plastic threads attached, that screws into the slider. More like a hose guide on a frame except plastic.
