Took delivery of the above frame yesterday and must admit it's a beauty! Now begins the long search for appropriate bits.

First off, a fork. Can anyone recommend a suitable one? I believe that they are specced for 130mm / 140mm but I'm sure I saw one in Dirt with Marz 66s on it!

Likewise if anyone has anything suitable for sale, please let me know.

Cheers!

steerer 185mm
scuffs on uppers and lowers, particularly where the stanction guards once were - similar to cable rub grooves but these are macined alloy not magnesium so isnt a problem.minor stanction nicks hence price..

seals and controls are all good and hold oil fine no leaky seals ect
sound tasty set of forks! and obviously lovely looking!

I use a Rock Shox Pike 454 u-turn. Works great! Fully wound out at 140mm for downhills and jumps, wound in to 110mm for most other things.

Looks cool as well 🙂

Got TALAS on mine. They spend their life at 130m and don't get wound down and I do lots of climbing. I have mine built up as a tough XC bike.
