well it turns out i had to spend closer to $400.....shocks are great (no more elastamers...springs now) Once they had the shox on the bike they then realized that i needed new brakes, as my v brakes were not compatible...i got the LX but only got to ride once so far so i'm not sure how much i like those...still need to tweak them out just a little.

but the shox are great so far.
