  • I had the same year F500 but in dark green. The cable discs were shockingly bad

  • How was the forks mate? Compared to something more modern. Google says they're quite decent when function properly.

  • I remember them being quite decent, but bear in mind I bought it in 2004, and didn't really cycle much between '07 and '10, by which point they'd seized and I replaced them with Marzocchi Bomber 44s, which were probably better. Not actually ridden anything really modern

  • The forks are very light, very stiff and very precise.

    Only problem is...80mm ish of travel. These were racing XC bikes back in the day.
