• Sherpa with a midweight 120 fork, dropper and wider bars would be a good shout. Might feel the weight a bit compared to something in composite with a racing fork but it would a lot of fun.

  • If I do end up doing dirt ultras I might get myself a rigid fork. But I'd probably want to be competitive before bothering with that and I'm pretty sure I won't be competitive. It's like, I didn't buy the Shiv until I came second in a Nat Champs, then it was like... moneygun!

    Speaking of forks, if I get the frame, which fork do I go for? I should take this to the other thread.

    Something with > 32mm stanchions. Fox 34 would be the obvious starting point but plenty of options from the usual suspects.

  • New 35mm SIDs if you're set on 120mm max travel. Stiffer and lighter than Fox 34s, Torque Cap compatible too.

    Droppers are the best thing about modern MTBing!
