Basically are they any good, anything that you should watch out for (ie places they’re prone to cracking) etc? I’m not that bothered about it being old as my current frame’s quite old as well, I’ve never ridden brand new stuff! And so long as it’s solid/reliable then I can probably deal with heavier weight of old tech.
Have found one for sale with the right kind of spring weight for me for £250 (also includes seatpost + clamp), is that about right? Apparently the older ones took “shorter” travel forks like my 140mm Pikes quite well – so I would be able to do a straight frame transplant from my current bike.
It would be for UK downhill, maybe a little bit of pedalling around cannock, and also with a view to take to Canada with me (would work out loads cheaper than buying when out there). So this kind of links in with my other Whistler thread!
