instead of buying a whole new bike i think i'm just going to buy some individual parts...FMF Powermoto bars(pro xl size), industrial rocker cranks, tektro v-brake kit, and either FMF Powerbomb or Drive Lite forks...what forks should i get?...i'm staying under $150 so if you could give me suggestions it would help

As i said i dont like v-brakes, i think you should go with the Oddysey Evolvers, Oddysey Linear Cable, and Oddysey Monolever size medium. Thats great i love them so much. And as for forks can you give links to both of them please.

Tektro isnt renowned for being the best, but they should suffice.

You have no idea what you are talking about... you're just going with what everyone else is saying. Go with the ody classic race forks... I'll probably get those eventually.

"The sky is red, I dont understand,
Past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin the woman is damned,
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear burn!"
Gotta love Deep Purple....

Come to think of it, that picture was on a Rage Agaisnt the Machine cd...

It doesn't really matter... both forks are still light enough to ride for racing.
