Some good stuff right there. That orange niner is sweeet.

What Darth Wader would ride, isn't it?

Ooff - what is this?

From what I can work out, it's a resprayed Zion 737 EBB frame, with a Salsa Cromoto fork.

Thanks - me want. Heads off to google Zion

Edit - history :(

From here, if it helps

Should I put a sus fork on my Inbred? Are there any good, light ones for cheaps?

integrated seatpost clamp on a mtb is quite questionable :-)

but other thatn that very nice

Buy my Lyrik?

It's quite light. Ish. (for a ridiculous long-travel all-mountain fork)

Nah, I was looking at 80-100mm travel XC forks. Rockshox SID kinda thing.

Any other suggestions for lightweight race forks?

Fox Float 32s? DT Swiss forks can be had for fairly cheap if you want seriously light, but they're maybe a bit noodly

they're maybe a bit noodly

Only under a heavy rider...

oh

awkward

Float like a butterfly, sting like a piano dropped from a skyscraper.

There's not much on ebay.

@hippy Reba is the sweetspot - it's pretty much a SID but with an alloy crown. And half the price.

But these will do you if you don't want to spend big monies

Wait - you after 26"? Not many options because the 26" XC market is essentially dead.

Fox F80 RLs?

Reba with a straight 1 1/8th steerer.

20mm axle though. You after 9mm QR, 15mm or 20mm?

9mm normal QR, disc-only. Unless the dude is also selling a wheel :)

I can sell you a Mavic XM321 laced to a Superstar 20mm hub for cheaps. The hub is gold though, might be a dealbreaker

Gold? Is this the new rickrolling?

How do they compare with the Reet'Ard wheels?
I'd prefer not to spend much on this to be honest. I'd be better off buying a new mtb if I wanted to get off road properly.

From what I can gather, the Mavic rim is slightly lighter and doesn't have a stupid name.
