Congratulations Pat and Ryan. Well done ! Steve, Neil, & Eric Storz

As reported, Eric is now home and recovering nicely. We really appreciate all of the kind words and prayers on his behalf. Steve, Joanie, Neil, & Eric Storz

Big thanks to the trials community for the interest shown on this forum about our recent World Round adventures. Needless to say, Eric wasn't satisified with his results but it was a HUGE learning experience on many levels. It's also important to note that we were made to feel very welcome at these events by many fellow competitors and trials enthusiasts. We received fantastic support for the Barzio event from team P.R.T. Sherco, the sponsors of Matteo Grattarola. Big thanks also to Renato Chiaberto, the Italian Sherco importer for his assistence. At the Andorra event, when we found oursleves without a minder bike for Neil, it was Gerald Richardson from the UK (Jonathan's Dad) who came to the rescue by finding us a loaner bike from a friend of his. All in all it was a great experience for our family and one we hope to repeat again in the future. Thanks again to all concerned. Steve, Joanie, Neil, & Eric Storz

I see from their web site (www.paioli.com) that Paioli took over Ceriani in 1997 after the latter had gone bankrupt in 1980! I guess this is an opportunity for them to re-introduce the name. They seem to have either plastic covers or a black coating/paint on the sliders. Here's some Ceriani fork trivia: The original company that produced the Ceriani 35mm forks for road racing and moto-x (ARCES) was founded by Arturo Ceriani in 1964. The name ARCES stood for "Arturo Ceriani from Samarate" His son, Enrico Ceriani, was responsible for fork design and new projects. That company went out of business in 1978. In 1981 Enrico Ceriani was approached by a new company called Forcelle Italia to produce forks from his new designs under a licensing agreement. These were forks of 38,40, and 42mm diameters for road racing, endurance, and moto cross use. That relationship ended in 1987 when he accepted an offer to become a partner in another company. Enrico Ceriani passed away in 1995 after a lengthy battle with Leukemia, so for sure he had nothing to do with these Sherco forks. Steve Storz Storz Performance, Inc. Sorry need to correct my own post, Enrico Ceriani died in 2001, not 1995 as I stated in this post. Steve Storz
