Hi Folks,

I just recently managed to pick up a 2004 model Specialized Enduro S-Works frame for just over £400 and I'm going to start on my first ever bike build.

I'm well excited about it but looking for some advice from the old pros regarding fork choice. I know the geometry of the frame determines the fork travel you want but I don't know much about how to find this out. Any advice on what would go well with this model/year?

Look forward to hearing from you all,

Colin

    I would e-mail Spesh and ask them.

    its pretty simple, dont buy any for with over 5 inches of travel, and lets face it, if youve got an enduro, you probably dont need that much anyways.

    i personally would gof or a 4 inch fork, otherwise your bike will be like a chopper.
    building bikes is very easy mate, dont worry about it, just remebr, dont cut the steerer tube to short on the fork you buy.
