Can someone help me and suggest an uprage for my front shox. I now have Rock Shox Jett on a 2000 Kona NuNu. I am looking for something with a little more travel. :(

Check out the Buy-Sell-Trade section. Kevin has a brand new Manitou Six fork for $150.00 I don't need it or I'd buy it! That's an awesome deal.

Ditto. Manitou just started the Six line this year and 150 is a killer deal.

Thanks for the plug.
Terrance since you are a fellow Kona owner and a fellow 2000 Nunu owner I will pay for shipping, if you buy the fork. Let me know mtbskin@cox.net .

Roughly how much are you willling to spend? You might find something decent for $200 CDN (like last year's model - best way to save money) but if you want 4" or more of travel you may have to cough up more $$.

Locally, one store has the 2001 RS Judy for $229:

BTW Roughly where abouts in the city are you?

Thanks guys. I've got a couple of ideas and am checking them out. Hey Bikerider, right now I'm in Etobicoke, but I'm going to move downtown soon. I Hope. Thanx

There is a Bicycle Show (exhibit) coming to my area soon so maybe I'll get a good deal there. I don't know if they really have good deals but I'll take a look

THE TORONTO BICYCLE SHOW
Located at The National Trade Centre (Exhibition Place)
Dated March 1-3 2002


I work in the building so maybe they will give me some good deals. Here's hoping.

Etobicoke is not bad, you make it sound like it's in the middle of nowhere! :D

BTW The Bikezone has a few things going cheap right now (like a RS Psylo for $200) according to a local site:

I think they are in Mississauga or Oakville. I haven't dealt with them but they have a great reputation. Maybe give them a shout.

I guess you decided not to buy the Manitou I have for sale???
