Came from a Heckler, which I broke [cracked the downtube all the way round 🙁 ] so simply transferred most of the parts over to the IBIS, apart from the headset and front mech. So not too costly especially if you have an account in your LBS and pay by installments :).
As for the fork colour – I really like the feel of Manitou forks over Rockshock or Fox, so with the Absolute + damper upgrade in the 140 mm thru-axle 2010 model being white, I did not really have any other option.
