JP From Recycles has one. He was working at Hopkins Cycles (Mark Hopkins dads shop) when he got it. When i saw it i thought it looked like something from outer space. His had those big ass Hannebrink forks too.

i still have these knocking around in the garage

 

a 4 inch travel 1998 Marzocchi Jr T

and a 7 inch travel 2002 Jr T

 

The 4 inch one is still amazingly smooth - the 7 inch is a bit dead as i tried to fiddle the internals too much and created a dead spot.

I had a closer look at Mike's one on Saturday. He is running a very old Rock Shox dual crown. Not sure if it was called a "Boxxer" back then, but it looks a like a Boxxer predecessor.
