Stanners Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Right some of you may remember that i wanted to build up a do anything bike......so ive got the frame finally (slow progress) .......now i need some forks but they are sooo expensive. Ideally im after some 120, 130, 140 mm (preferably 130 mm) forks which are strong enough for jumping, dropping etc but nice and cheap. £100 to £200 ideally but may stretch a little beyond that. Oh yeah no second hand stuff guy thanks! (Unless you live near by). Can anyone remember what Tarty Adam was running on his Koxx....Bombers? Oh yeah ,also, are the Marzocchi MX Pro Lockout Forks 2009 strongish??CheersRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 That said, I got my recon forks, brand new, for £165.that said, they were very soft when I got them.Course, after the spring upgrade and a bit more oil, they're good to go.
