Newbie here i am looking at up grading to a full suss i was looking at this frame http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FRTITFTMCAR ... arch_shock
My dilemma is (1)Which fork would work best i Was thinking this http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FOFO32TALS/ ... forks_2012 but on some forum they say the head angle will be to steep.
(2) is there a better option for forks
(3)Is there a better frame for around the same price.
I mainly ride xc singletrack but on the odd occation go to trail centers ive got a beone karrma ht which i have been upgrading over 2years most of my up grades i can port most things over.
Thanks any advice will be appreciated

The angles are a little steep for a typical bike of this type, but that is not always a bad thing, some prefer it this way.Tthough a 150mm fork will slacken it slightly.
it is a good price for frame only, especially as it is carbon, and very light too.0 -
The El Guapo (also from On One) is a superb frame and consistently gets good reviews, its currently £599 for frame and Monarch shock, or £799 with a cane creek double barrel, but for 2k you can buy the full bike, X9, Lyrics, ccdb, reverb etc. The only problem is they are out of stock, and when they do get new stock they go quick.0

I went down to day and tried the titus ftm i liked it but it had the rockshox revelations would they be a better fork. Some thing stopped me buying them Is there any thing better for around the same price or would i be better off buying a full bike.0

The Fox there is not fully described ie the damper adjustments (RL, RLC). Some good deals on Revelations at merlin, but non taper.0

Thanks sonic what would you advise as i am a bit in the dark at min which way to go0

I'd ask OnOne for more details on the fork ie the full model name.0

Reet I've just got off the phone to on one the fox forks are the rlc model.
would i be better off with them if not could i get a stem conversions kit for the rockshox Revelations.0 -
The RLC is the best version, so a good buy. I would have said no if it was the RL or R.0

Thanks for the help0
