I'm building up some old bits into a lightweight XC bike and I'm looking for a lightweight 100mm fork that must have V-brake bosses.
Can anyone reccomend anything? I have œ200 max. Older models and sale bargains welcome!

If you are lucky enough to find a reba, thats the one to get. Otherwise I would say a Recon 327 Solo air.

I am selling some old SIDs if you're interested. The stickers are scuffed but can be replaced. Good working condition but obviously they're second hand. Just thought it was worth a punt.

Haha, they came with my frame but, being the tart I am, I want silver forks instead.

Cheers Satchmo, but I'm after 100mm really.

Wiggle and Merlin were knocking Reba SLs out for 200 ish, but the recon at that price is a very good buy. Its not superlightweight, but not shabby at all, and stiff for its weight.

That's a bargain for Recons. Don't know what the difference is between them and my 351s, but mine have been great and I can't recommend them highly enough

Might be buying some Pikes for my Stumpy in July, if I do then I will etiher be selling my Fox Talas or putting them on the Klein (which can handle 125mm), if they go on the Klein then I'll be selling my 2006 Reba Team, Dual Air with Pop-Loc and V-Brake bosses, I'll drop you a mail when I've decided to see if you're still looking.

Looking to upgrade my RST's on my Hardrock Sport 07(non-disc), spoke to them flogging the Recons and none left. Anyone know whether Satchmo's 80mm RS Sids will suit my Hardrock as travel on RST's is 100mm will it have a negative effect on handling and warranty.Or am i best going for Tora's as can't afford Rebas.0
