well since everyone will have a biased opinion, ill tell you the right way to pick

Go down to a local horse racing track.
Get the horses out and with spraypaint, spray 888, FOX, WB, and Dorado onto different horses, whichever wins buy that fork :p

I saw an ad in MBA about a Hanebrink fork, it's got like 48mm stanchions and it's adjustable travel from 5-8" on the fly. I'd totally put one on a hartail for erbon or for XC too.

I say Marzocchi. I heard on MTBR if you take a hammer to the internals and then threaten the lives of anyone who questions your side of the story, they'll send you a free fork.

Buy american, anything named marxiocheyie must be french or something like that and everybody knows we don't like french stuff anymore so we call everything that was french freedom instead, freedom fries, freedom toast, freedom bikini. So yeah don't buy a freedom fork.

Dudes my friend knows this guy that's making a fork that goes from 3 inches to 8 inches and only weighs 6 pounds. Seriously. My friend's like seen it and stuff. I think Gary Ellis is riding it or something..

My friend's cousin also said that the guy is making hoverboards. I saw a picture of them. It's like the ones they had in Back To The Future 2. This kid that lives down the street has one already too. His dad knew the guy..

and I thought the Fox fork took forever to debug, that hoverboard has been in prototype phases for like 15 years now. when are they due on the market???

BTW should we move this thread over to pinkbike, I think it might go over better over there...

That's a joke, right? I sold my '01 Monster in '02 or so for $525'ish. That's 2 years less abuse/use.

btw- I don't think MMike buys used either. ;)

Bought a shiver DC for $350 in great condition. I just put new seals in it and it's going strong.
