goodbye

Good bye SID.

I've been making myself crazy trying to get my head around all the fork
stuff. I had all my choices figured out, only to find out there are very few
non-disc options out. Oh, sure, the Fox Float 100 for $700 but that's a
little steep.... So, 100mm of travel, non disc, lightweight, within my
budget...sure I want it: new fork, wheelset, disc brakes... but I seriously
doubt all that would fly around here.

found a Bomber MX comp, 105mm for $275 today. Just a little heavier than I
would've really liked but you can't have everything. Bought it. It will be
here next week. Local guys that know me and my bike think it'll be great.
Done deal.

Oh but the Fox is soooo smooth. I'm luv'n it!

Good bye SID.

I must have the only good SID they made. I've beat the hell out of it since
2001 and I don't think I've as much as wiped it off, much less do anything
else to it. My previous Marzocchi, however, required new seals after only a
few Kmiles.

I've actually got a SID on my 1x1 that's been holding up well. I kind of
want to replace it, but it just keeps working so I leave it alone. It's
pretty flexy compared to my Black but tolerable. I don't think my
shoulder can take a rigid fork so I need some kind of suspension.

Hey Penny, where did you get that fork? Locally or somewhere online?
