looking around for some cheapish forks for a mates's lad's bike - saw some Marzocchi 22s on Merlin for £90 - are they any good?
also loking for anything S/H but decent - 100mm Toras, MXCs etc - anyone got anything?

I bought some off merlin a couple of months back for £95. Very plush (I was surprised), and well damped. fairly heavy at 2500g. I put them on my singlespeed so the bar mounted lock out is well useful when mashing up climbs. When locked out u still get ~10mm of travel which means they are never too harsh. Overall very pleased. Only negatives are the stickers look shit - I removed them. mine came missing the LO cable outer so I used a brake cable outer. The fork has a harsh top out when locked out - but fine when active. shame they are rather heavy, but for the price, great. Recommended

140 bombers will be too long - need @100mm
