    Without seeing the bike, and knowing its full spec, couldn't really say, just a guess. I'd say roughly 150-200 punds depending on the fork.

    Have you tried it, does it fit?

    I bought a 2007 model as my first step back into mountain biking, nice frame, not great value for money, original fork is truely dire so any upgrade can only be a positive as long as its in good condition. Am currently trying to convince my brother to buy mine for£300 so £150-£200 sounds fair if its been looked after.
