As the title states 🙂 ....
For me its got to be my Marzocchi Marathon LR Forks 2011 I got for £107 wasnt to sure but needed a budget forks for my Stumpjumper HT so I could get the Hardrock back on the road ..
A lot lighter than the Gran Fondo 1 I had and so responsive , what an absolute bargain not the lightest but light enough for me and they have transformed my Stumpy 🙂
XTR'd my bike.

Surly Karate Monkey
Shadow plus rear mech, planned to wait until it filtered down to slx but a broken mech forced my hand, shelled out for the xtr and won't regret it until i've broken it (by which time i'll hopefully have the option of a shadow plus slx replacement), it's on my Five so glad of a bit less noise!
A night an the Best Western, Port Talbot. Beach walk, swim and sauna, followed by a day riding Afan with my sons.
Weather was "character building" 😐

My Santa Cruz TRc frame...
A subscription to MBUK.
So not much a purchase. But signed up to strava and has made my comute far more interesting as well as making me fitter
Couldn't get the Mint Sauce keyring, so it has to be the last ever Cotic Simple frame (in non-clown size).
