Worth 80 bucks?
Here is the deal, I sold the Manitou for what I had in it ($100) with the express intent of upgrading it. Now I have a chance to buy an 04 Float for $180. It looks cosmetically descent and was rebuilt by fox in 07. During that rebuild it also had a new upper assembly installed. Claims to be mechanically perfect. Worth it? From what I gather the internals haven't really changed in the Fox float line, maybe this is why they retain their value so well.
