9" steer tube... unheard of for a vintage 90s fork!!!
Since you have a 1994 A2E with the black and white frame and the STX group, I wouldn't concern yourself with the STX as that'll do fine for now and you could upgrade as you go. However, that A2E deserves a top performing air fork! The link above is for an auction that ends in a couple days, I'm very familiar with the SC70UL fork, you can't do better than a White Brothers fork outside of buying a new Fox fork! Yes, I'm very biased! White Brothers used to be 10 minutes from my home, my old college roommate was the art director, no one in mountain biking at that time knew more than White Brothers about suspension. W.B. built custom internals for Fox, W.B. has always been a leader in MotoX suspension. Eric Carter pictured jumping on the front page of this Cuda site raced on the White Brother Rotec team and won often. I was privileged to meet him a number of times, super nice and down-to-Earth guy. He always spoke in interviews above how the W.B. suspension was always perfect and never failed once... no one else can say that. All the o-rings and internal parts on the W.B. forks can be found at a regular hardware store, this was built into the design so there would never be a need for obsolete components with their forks. I've owned 9 W.B. forks, I had some serviced when they were local, and I've sent a couple to W.B. in Colorado for service. Their suspension techs are the same guys that service the MotoX pros that race for the W.B. Factory Team. Like I said, you can't do better than that SC70 fork for your A2E... plus the black, white, and gold would look awesome!!!
