sounds like a frame upgrade it due."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

I'm the same on the Mmmbop, when it exists... £150 frame, £600 forks. Makes sense to me.Uncompromising extremist0

Its not that extreme if your forks are doing a lot of work then you need the best you can afford. The frame could be seriously old but if it fits you, does the job and has the right angles then sounds like a good plan to me.Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.0

No unusual at all.
My On One 456 frame cost me £150, the 150mm RS Revelation Race Air U-Turn forks were circa £350,0 -
there's surely considerably more engineering inside a modern fork with dampers, oil and air/spring rates... cnc parts, extruded parts, seals, bonding and welding...
I mean, you can make a frame out of bamboo. Can't be that hard 8) unless it's carbon of course...0 -
My Rockhopper frame cost me £70 second hand
A Reba is going to cost me £280
£70 x 4 = £280
