We all wish we had a million dollars, but very few of us do. I have an Access hardtail frame from Performance and I want to finally build it up. Probably keeping it SS for now, using Avid BB7 mec disc brakes and I have everything else...but I don't know what fork to get. I don't have lots to spend, so I'm looking for something economical. Riding I do:

Soleley an XC rider, though I do love to bomb downhill as fast as possible. I grew up racing in the NORBA scene, and am a very technically adept rider. As such I like technical singletrack, get out to Moab once a year to ride Amasa Back, Poison Spider and a lap or two on Slickrock for the nostalgia (before it was a touron-fest).

Last time I bought a fork was in 2000 and I bought a Judy. I have absolutely no idea what's even out there these days. Not looking for 6" of travel or anything. 3" would be fine, more is just icing on the cake.

Like I said, price is the biggest concern. I see so many that are $400+ and that's a pretty hefty tag for me. If it's what I have to spend to get anything of any quality then fine, but I'd prefer less.

That looks awesome! Well in the price range, too. Thanks for that. Any ideas on how it works? Critical feedback? Of course I will be searching the 'net, but firsthand perspectives are great.

That fork does look good.
I might look into that, I'd just have to get the Vbrake set.

Here's another fork...with the plus that you can adjust the travel.
