Keep em on.
Keep em on.
So if it's muddy or full up with little rocks everywhere all the time, I'd leave them on. Otherwise, I'd give them the chops. Gouged stanchions or no gouged stanchions, a fork's internals are no good if they're soaked in a mixture of oil and dirt.

Would you either:
1) Run stanchion guards, and possible have to put new oil in it sooner than expected. Maybe $30 at a LBS if you don't know how?
or
2) Not run them, possible ding your stanchion, have to purchase a new upper assembly and send the fork off to be rebuilt? For a Lyrik (just throwing number out there), it runs about $320 for the uppers alone, add on service and you're looking at about $400? That's for RockShox, I'm sure Fox charges quite a bit more.
Choice is a no-brainer for me.

Nice to see the northern bikes start to come out of hibernation.
Scrublover - Nice looking rig but what's the station wagon? I have a thing for station wagons.

the fork is pretty heavy as are a lot of the FSA pieces. i will have to update that weight if i find out differently in the future.
i think i might just end up buying one of those hanging scales...any of you have one? recommendations?
edit:
oh yeah, the pedals weigh a lot too.

Thats as much as my medium Morphine.Now I'm glad I went with the Morphine, I thought the Vagrant was much lighter.

Look at the dropouts, it's on right. The crown is just on the back instead of the front.
