Currently building up a bike for my eldest daughter and need some cheap, half decent, 100mm travel, 1 1/8th, 26" and disc compatible forks. Current bike I'm doing up has some old Suntour XCM but looking for better/lighter ones.
Any ideas?

Cheers Toddy.

    Look on eBay, Suntour Epicon/Epixon or RockShox Reba would be my suggestion, that said I have some SID's that cost me £70 (preloved obviously) which are sub 1500g.

    If you daughter isn't too heavy then the older Manitou Skareb and black are fairly light (but less stiff being 28mm stanchion) and can be had fairly cheap.

    I've got a set of Rockshox Tora S-Lite La Femme in the garage that you can have for the cost of postage (unless you can collect).
    They are off my wife's Specialized Myka FSR. Coil spring but light and responsive. I'll check the steerer length if you are interested.

    Thanks JBA that's very kind of you. I'd love to take them off your hands. I'm away to Tenerife on Tuesday for ten days so don't need them straight away but could send the money anytime. Just let me know how much you need to cover the postage. Steerer length sold be ok as it's going on a small frame but if you can let me know I'll double check.

    Thanks again, Toddy.
