I was looking at replacements for my (not serviced since 08 at least) 06 Pikes and came to the conclusion that suspension is now really really expensive.
Meh. I paid £500 for Fox TALAS R in 2004, with inflation that's like £700 now. Forks seem expensive to me because I'm making less in cash terms then I was in 2004, but that's a separate issue.
True, I may be misremembering but I'm sure that just a few years ago there were a lot more credible options in the sub £300 market which seems to have disappeared. Hoping that my proclivity towards 26" might find me a bargain somewhere.
