I call this one Cream Soda...I'll have to dig out "Root Beer" pretty soon ('86 Brown High Sierra)...these are fun bikes to ride!
Both are totally stock...down to the GIANT sticker from the factory on the drive side chain stay

Great bikes! And that boat has fins! I'd go get it!

93 catalog (sorry, didn't download the 94 for some reason) shows Equipe wearing a Quadra by Rockshox. Axle to crown measures at 420 mm, so with a little compression, 400 mm to about 410 mm seems reasonable as a substitute

@MattiThundrrr Thanks Bro, 'Preciate it!

@ChaOs I'm not sure what the measurements are on the Surly fork I have on it, it was on the bike when I bought it.
If it's not too buried I can try to check it out maybe this weekend if still needed

Yeah, that boat would be really cool yard-art planter or something...

Here's a different angle of that old boat...

No stress, it also looks like a 410mm or something and @MattiThundrrr is right.
I have a Giant Box Crown or how they are called that could fit....
Maybe I could enter the ORBO

I had that exact same high sierra. I sold it today. Really cool bike, but I can’t keep them all. It was listed on CL for months.

I hear ya...I will end up selling the pair, hopefully together. They're way cool & fun, but I need the room & like you said...
