How much does a standard 7200fx weigh?

IF you go to the bike mechanics forum you may find more. As regards front shocks it depends what you are usign the bike for. If so commuting then waster of time as more things to go wrong. If for road then aslo Im my opinion not a good idea as more things to go wrong. The only reason I would go for suspension is for off road and then you need to pay good money. But that is only me. Look at the Specialize Sirrus range good bikes for hybrid range good for road,commuting etc. Try and decide what you are looking for bike for and then you van better suit your needs. Front suspension really is only for off road - thats me anyway
