My 2000 Gringo is up for replacement this month. As my only MTB it is a bit worn out - only the bar ends and shifters have lasted the course and have survived from the original build. The original Pace EvoIII's died a few seasons ago so I have been suffering with a set of Project 2's for a few years.
Anyhow, I'm buying an R8 frame, and I'm totally out of touch with the fork market. I ride in the Highlands mainly, so I need a 100mm travel fork, that will be durable. I tend to do multi day trips in the mountains travelling light and slow.
I've always been an Orange frame/Pace fork man, but I am aware Pace have been ruined by the Swiss. So your alternative recommendations would be gratefully received.
