As in the title really, if you was on a tight budget and looking at 2nd hand big travel forks what would you look for..
so far Marz Junior T are on the list but what else should i look at in the £100-150 price range?
Unless your frame needs it look at less better quality travel? Other than that dont get a jr T...horrible forks! I would look at a 66 or a 150mm z1.
RS Domains. Pick them up for about £150 with motion control damping and U-turn in 160mm or without U-turn in 180mm
Super fork!
I actually know someone who has a nice set for sale for £150. I can pass your details on if you like?
RS Domains.
Forgot about them. Good forks, built like a tank too!
This for that Patriot you were asking about? I'm sure Domains would do a splendid job.
A full length pair (180mm) goes great on a longer travel Patriot anyway.
I've just picked up a pair of 318 U-Turn Domain's for £140, hoping they'll be good!
I blame you PeterPoddy after reading your recent spate of threads!

Older style (32mm stanchion) BoXXers FTW!!!
One of the best “fiddlers forks”, ebay/SDH classified are often awash with various examples and plenty of spares, if you like a bit more fit and forget though and don’t mind it being a bit taller A-C then you might find some 05-06 Marz 66’s in your price range…
I assume this is for some sort of DH build…
I got a set of Marzocchi 55's I'll be putting in the classifieds today, 160mm travel, let me know if you're interested.
i've got a set of sherman flicks and boxxer 151's in the loft not doing much - available very cheap if required. both 150mm.
peter if they are uturn 318s i could be very interested.
@ van halen - how much for the boxxers
Thanks for the feedback, yes to go on an 03-04 Patriot thats got 6 inch travel rear, my problem now is the guy selling the Patriot has done a disapearing act...
PP I will hold on to see if the frame materializes and they might be too long.
Van Halen, The same really, but feel free to PM me what you mean by really cheap as on further investigation 150mm is what they sold this particular frame with, rather than the slightly longer forks I was thinking of..
OK the Patriot guy has dissapeared, but I have bought a frame with similar travel 150-160mm
Van Halen, Artillerydave, PP, can you please drop me a line let me know how much you want for the forks you have please.
Thanks.
Van Halen: How much you want for those Boxxer 151 forks?
Thanks.
The Manitous he sold me are ace, decent fella to deal with.
tinsy why not the 66RC's that I've got? 150 or 170 travel. Im running them this weekend whilst my forks are away at the Cobblers.
Selling them cheep! next week.
Jr Ts are truley awwwwful.
Second hand, othwerise, low budget = low quality i figure.
any fork of that length at 200 quid ish is gonna be toss.
second hand bombers, of the 2004 2005 era, should last forever, and as long as the stantions are in good nick, a seal and oil change will have them as new again.
Hora thanks for the offer, this thread is pretty old I bought the Manitou flicks off VanHalen and my budget was tiny so not sure your 66's fitted the bill anyhow. But how much out of interest, e-mail in profile.
Maybe they would suit jimjimthehumanbin, but if he is looking at RS 151's I would think he doing a slightly retro DH build..
