I've been making myself crazy trying to get my head around all the fork stuff. I had all my choices figured out, only to find out there are very few non-disc options out. Oh, sure, the Fox Float 100 for $700 but that's a little steep.... So, 100mm of travel, non disc, lightweight, within my budget...sure I want it: new fork, wheelset, disc brakes... but I seriously doubt all that would fly around here.
found a Bomber MX comp, 105mm for $275 today. Just a little heavier than I would've really liked but you can't have everything. Bought it. It will be here next week. Local guys that know me and my bike think it'll be great. Done deal.

I must have the only good SID they made. I've beat the hell out of it since 2001 and I don't think I've as much as wiped it off, much less do anything else to it. My previous Marzocchi, however, required new seals after only a few Kmiles.

I've actually got a SID on my 1x1 that's been holding up well. I kind of want to replace it, but it just keeps working so I leave it alone. It's pretty flexy compared to my Black but tolerable. I don't think my shoulder can take a rigid fork so I need some kind of suspension.
Hey Penny, where did you get that fork? Locally or somewhere online?
