Thanks for the reply DX-MAN,
Do you know if those wheels are a wheelset? Looks tempting, although I was wondering – are there any reasons why you suggest them?
The shocks are from local, somebody offered them to me saying that they only have about 100 miles on them and have been in storage since. RockShox SID definitely look tempting though, somehow I forgot about those. However, they too are from around 2000, so are they any more reliable than the MARS? If I need too, can I find replacement parts for either of these forks?
