    marathon s or fox 125r?

    You bring up a good point...On days where I wanted to ride more down than up I could set the fox at 125 or 100 and ride at 80 for most normal days. I dont have that option with the marathon. hmmm...

    thoughts on new hardtail

    I just posted this in that other steel ht thread but you might like the cotic soul http://www.cotic.co.uk steel, kinda agressive stance, built for longer forks, but still comes in semi-larger sizes so all-day xcish rides aren't a killer on the legs/back.

    marathon s or fox 125r?

    not to be a dick but "I would switch 125 to 80 or 100 depending on which felt better"...yea...so seriously, assuming both were around 80 which is the better all-around fork? the cost difference is only about 30-40$ (fox high).

    rm blizzard or jamis dragon?

    they are both 853 and both have pros and cons to their respective geometry. The question is mainly one of craftsmanship. I know jamis' are made in taiwan and rm's are handmade in canada at the rm factory. This makes me think the rm is going to better overall in terms of welds and alignment...

    superlight rear/front triangle question

    I just purchased a 2001 large superlight. I havent built it up yet but in the event it is to small for me would I be able to purchase just the front triangle to an XL superlight and use the rear triangle from the large? If so would I be able to use a 2002/2003 front triangle or would I need to...
