OK dirt lovers. I'm putting together a full Bounce. Cuz I've never owned one, and because, reasons.
My main riding partner is building a full sus XC race whippet. The guys that ride/race off road in my Club also ride XC race whippets.
I want to ride With them. But feck. I live in Norway. I swear its enduro/AM heaven. I know a guy that coaches, and does tours on Enduro style routes, and hes moved closer.
So I figure I'd make a compromise bike. Well. Apparantely I mean 'marathon' bike.
26" 120mm travel Commencal Meta SL frame, With a solid 120/130mm travel fork.
I'm getting super indecisive With the fork though.
Fox float 32(or 34) CTD 120mm
Fox Talsas 32 CTD 120-140mm adjustable
Marzocchi 44 120mm
Manitu Minute pro 120mm
X-fusion Slant 130mm
DT-Swiss XMM 120mm
Rock shox revelation 120mm - 140mm
A lot of this will come Down to price. A lot of 26" forks are on clearance. I really dont want the flex of a XC fork, especially pushed to 120/130mm travel. Yet dont really want to drag 2.2kg of AM fork up the local Climbs.
Am I looking for a silver builit here?
