as above, looking at getting a 2nd hand hardtail frame for general all round cycling, currently run a 130 on my hardtail and I never bottom it out so was thinking I could probably get away with less = less weight? right?. Was leaning towards fox because of general good reviews but open to all suggestions, I just have limited knowledge of models and makes. thanks.

<warning link to advert included> No idea if your ready to buy or not, but I do believe these [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fs-all-sorts-niche-and-mainstream-mtb-and-road ]Reba Team's[/url] are rather ****in nice, reasonable weight, stiff (enough), great performance & would my preferred option over anything else. If I needed such a fork I'd definitely consider these, yes I know Mboy, but was envious when he bought those forks originally & have no vested interest in his ad.

£400ish? But discount deals were available, though the blackbox model 'were' top of the line at the time IIRC

Have to say those planet X are very very reasonable though & 1 1/8
