I gave my XTC some attention aswell yesterday. Have been running a SR Suntour oil fork for the past year, but not anymore!

Got this from my Lbs built up out of parts from various old forks. Lowers and internals from an old model SID and the stanchions are the Blackbox Carbon ones from a Spez Brain SID.

If only I can ditch this stubborn flu bug now so I can go ride my upgrades. e682627080e862408044bac4a2831484.jpg

So I had thought I'd picked up a Intense Tracer 2 but that didn't eventuate as someone else profited from my delay. So reasonably heart broken I kicked the can about today and had a look here and there not actually expecting to find anything.... an over priced Trance here, a random Mongoose being touted as an Enduro killer there... one very badly flogged Orange 5 else where. 

 

Long story short... I had make-up-purchase-sex with a Transition Bandit 29. Time for some thing different. not a 650b, not a 160 travel up front. Rather a Wagon wheeled trail romper with 140 up front, big hoops (hell why not!) and Kash' coated shock with a solid distance at the back for the fun. 

Can't wait to get this beauty built up. Very excited. Any suggestions on 140 forks welcome!

So the new friend for my Bandit 29'r is a new shiny Revelation RCT3 140mm... yeah I get it's white and the Transition is black on black with a hint of red but there was only 1 and it was a steal so can't exactly complain too much about upsetting my noir only colour scheme. ;)

Where did you get it at a steal? I'm looking for a 120mm fork at a good price and white would be alright.

Sorry was a one off deal. Had a choice between a fairly battered up 140 Pike that I couldn't check the internals for around 8K or a brand new 140 Revelation for sub R5K... Didt fancy the gamble and the difference is going fund the last thing: wheels. :)
