I'm thinking of purchasing the above frame but am not sure if my current fork (rockshox reba team dual air) is suited to the frame. any advice would be welcome.

    100-130mm is what the frame is designed around.

    Read somewhere though that the XC 120 works best with 120mm otherwise the bb is very low.

    Depending on which Rebas you have you might be able to extend them to 115 or 120 by removing an internal spacer.

    having owned this bike fro three years, id go for atleast a 130mm fork, as the bb height is seriously low. i had a set of rockshox toras and was constantly clipping pedals, so have bought some 140mm revelations and the bike now handles brilliantly, the geometry is perfect for climbing and descending, but it is dependant on the fork or running large volume 2.35 tyres to sort the low bb height, but do either of these things, or both like ive done, and you wont be disappointed with the results it is a great bike :D
