I was "given" a used Marzocchi Marathon SL "Bomber" 29er 2004 front shock fork that is completely compressed and non-functional (*along with another expensive part that I bought). Is it worth it to rebuild these 9 year old forks for $120 or more? This is for XC riding.

The only shop that I know of rebuilding these are "Suspension Experts" in North Carolina: http://www.mtbsuspensionexperts.com/...d=68&Itemid=53.

If you do recommend servicing these, what would you recommend asking to shop for for a clyde (6'-4" / 220lbs)?
