RockCoach Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 #silverlinings 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! $_57.jpg DVO Diamond T-Bob 1
T-Bob Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) #FridayFunSo 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.

I'm looking for a 120mm fork at a good price and white would be alright.

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. Skylark, Hairy, Capricorn and 1 other 4

T-Bob Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Shoulda gone with the fairly battered Pike....no wait...I'm biased...don't listen to me. Was very, very tempted... but some of the deep marks on the crown, the lowers and hectic rub on the inner lowers made you think a very big 'huh??' Will ride the rev' and keep eyes peeled for a pike further down the line.

Will ride the rev' and keep eyes peeled for a pike further down the line. The Rev is still a great fork. I bought a 2nd hand Pike in mint condition for 8k so the one you looked at does not sound worth the risk T-Bob 1
