Transition covert £1400
Fox 36 - £600??

Sell old meta 5.5 2007 & Fox 32 - £350
Don't need to serviced old shock or forks £100
£300 deposit and a lean month at the pub

£1250 over 24 months = £52 which I could live with.

Tempting....

Go for it, there's no point thinking what if? I just bought a bottlerocket I didn't need it but I've always wanted one. No regrets..

The 36s will be closer to £800 these days.

£800 for forks! I was thinking of getting the standard 160mm float R model.

Also hoping for some sort of deal when spending £2k but I fear the 24 month finance will spoil that. Need to have a go on one first but I fear once I've done that I'll be reaching for my wallet (happened last time)!

Some places still want nearly £800.

But at others you can get them for closer to £600.

You might be better of with some Lyriks as they are cheaper and more adjustable.
