    As per the title, I might have a chance on a 2014 Mantra Elite.

    Looks like all I need, and 650b, but I’m concerned about the fork, which is a Recon TK Gold Coil.

    I’ve not had a coil fork for years, is it any cop? Not heavy?

    cheers

    The Mantra isn’t a bad bike, the local bike place hires them out for trails and they seem to be okay.

    The fork is the 2014 spec Recon, the 2015 bikes seem to come with a Suntour Epixon fork which I think is an air fork.

    Cheers Somo. It does look pretty much all I’ll need in a bike. I’ve been used to air forks for the past few years, and maybe wrongly associate springs with poor performance.

    thanks
