Hey, after i sell my z150fr i am looking into a slider or super t. ( if you want to buy itpm me :D) anyways so ya after i sell it i want to buy a dc i've been looking at bikeroom.com and i was just wondering if it is safe to buy from that site cause i heard many scams from other online nike shops. And can you tell em any other safebike shops to buy from i would perfer in canda only.

Bikeroom kicks ass. David (from langley) is a good guy with good deals. I buy almost exclusively from him.

That fork is an odd one. I think, if I remember right, is a 2004 with 2003 internals...thats why it is soooo cheap ;) Not that that is a bad thing...just giving you info.

no the slider is what I was talking about ;)

You gotta slow down. No need to butcher my name :)...

Bikeroom is a direct sale warehouse...thats why it is soooo cheap. No storefront.
