Im building up a new bike. Some of the parts were switched from my fetish. But I need a new fork. Does anyone know of any deals going on for a fork that is about 130mm travel, with through axle? I can do either qr or through axle, but perfer the axle. Please no Fox, Im currently using a Manitou black super air. Looking to buy in the next few days. Thanks:rad:

I've been eyeing this one - nice 'n ORANGE to go with my frame. :D Good deal, seller is cool. Located up by the north shore I believe. If I had the spare $$ it would already be sold, but since I don't...

A few extra mm of travel never hurt any I say.

man that would look nice on my matte black frame. Too bad the steer tube is too short:mad: I need about a minium of 7 3/4. But would like about 8 to be safe.

this one is sweet, but a triple clamp may a bit much for trails, maybe?

I have new, uncut steerer, 2001 Marzocchi 130mm 20mm axle fork that I bought for the never-to-be Wojcik. Paid $175 plus $25 for the the uninstalled heavy springs. Yours for my paid price of $200 total.

Sorry that I am writing while on business travel, so no pix. Interested?

PM me.

That orange fork would be Hawt with the Fetish, too bad the steering tube is too short. Of course, you could use a SIC DH/Urban Stem with a low Stack height. I was going to use that on my Fixation before I got the SAAGO stem. I still might use it when try riding my fixation with 130mm manitou from my old Giant AC.

It would look good on the fetish, but my current build is a mountal cycles rumble. I decied to go a different route with what i want in a bike. I might look into that stem you mentoned.

That was the other frame someone suggested that I look at for my 69er project.

So far im very impressed with the frame. I like the fact i can replace the dropouts, and the overall quality seems to be a bit better.

Rumble's a good all around frame. A buddy of mine rides one and it's been treating him pretty well.

Jenson has a Manitou Minute 1 on sale right now for $189. Not a through axle though.
