Firstly Zephyr11, I don't want to trick them, like you said, if you were my parent you would let me buy a fork. I want to be able to buy a fork and sell my old one, not for much but every little helps!!! My parents don't believe in internet selling so that is out of the window. I think I might get a friend to buy one for me and tell my parents that he bought it,it didn't fit his bike, instead of sending it back, I said I would buy it off him. It is not all a complete lie, he did buy it and it didn't fit his bike. I then bought it off him as he doesn't really want it. My bike is a carrera banshee x bought from another friend that doesn't use it, no clue why it had this dodgee fork on it, but it made buying cheap (and parents were happy with what I did)!!!
