Looks good for a 'budget' build, those forks look a little short for the frame, head angle looks a little steep etc0

yeah I was hoping to get some pikes or something but my budget has ran out!!0

Ahh, can you not stick a spacer in there to up the travel to 130mm? i know merlin had some 130mm toras for £100 a while ago (i got a pair)0

I didnt know you could adjust the height of the forks? I am hopefully selling my old car so might have some cash for forks if I can divert some away from our wedding fund!!0

that's the spirit!
Yeah you can on some forks, not sure if you can on the tora SL or not, sometimes you just put in/remove a spacer, worth posting in the tech section maybe.0 -
I will look into that then, it rides ok even with the short travel forks in but I may have some money burning a hole in my pocket!0

pretty good!
on a bike designed for 140mm forks though, it really needs more than 100mm I like bikes and stuff0
