What forks?

PresumingEd

I need to upgrade the forks on my Marin Bobcat Trail, as the Spinner OS Grind ones that came with the bike are abysmal and, after 3 years of them, I've had enough!

I do general cross-country/trail riding but need something that can take the rocky descents we have here and there in the Peak District and am on the lighter side, at less than 11 stone soaking wet.

I've seen the following deals, which all seem quite good, as I don't really want to spend more than £150 (it doesn't seem worth it, given the rest of the bike) and would appreciate any comments, guidance as to what would be best:

Any of those Toras - the 1st one is a bit heavier and stiffer.

Original Equipment, was destined for a bike manufacturer to spec.

so is it as good as the retail or is it not as good e.t.c.

Sometimes the same, sometimes uses cheaper parts. Hard to say - email them.
