RST 200k 20" forks
Got a few bids running on some nice stowaways on Ebay at moment. If one comes off, I'l be looking to play around with a few mods. Sourcing bouncy forks for 20" in the UK seems well nigh impossible. But I guess could import one of the RST forks from these guys http://www.jensonusa.com - who only charge $35 for post to the UK on top of $65 for the fork. At current exchange rates doesn't seem to bad a deal. Maybe £60 all told (if customs and excise forget to take their pound of flesh)

But what thereafter...got to change bars, saddle, maybe gearing. And I'd like to powdercoat it some extreme colour and try to stay this side of £200...hmmm priorities, priorities. But got to win the bike first....
