i just splurged :O
2009 Rockshox Reba Race 29er w/ pushlock
$400 usd no tax no shipping
i decided go to the LBS and see what they could order for me before i gave my credit card number to some random website. He gave me a good deal. i was originally going to get the Reba SL, but for the extra 20 bucks i decided it would be foolish not to get the race model with the remote lockout. the price difference between the Tora and Reba was too small to for me to justify buying the Tora.
its going on a single speed 29er that barely cost more than this fork. i should have the fork in the next day or two i'll keep you posted. thanks for all the advice on my previous thread.

If you did get it for 400 then your LBS is selling it at below wholesale. The 2008 is a great fork. I think that's what you're getting.

Don't you just love the smell of a brand new fork as you're pulling it out of the box?!!
