My boyfriend is suggesting a Jr. T but others are suggesting a Super T or a Boxxer. Problem is, I hear that even though Boxxers are light (good), they are supposedly high-maintenance (bad). I also RARELY adjust my suspension, so I also probably don't NEED a highly-adjustable fork. I'm gonna be spending a lot of time at Whistler this summer and taking a Spokeswomen camp and more lessons, so I expect to progress, but right now I'm only doing smaller stuff. Mostly I want something that will leave me a little less beat-up at the end of the day at Whistler, but not so heavy that it makes lifting the front end a nightmare. At Whistler I'm mostly riding A-line and Dirt Merchant, but I want to progress to bigger drops/jumps, more skinnies and more-technical/steeper DH...and have a fork that will help, not hinder. Suggestions?
(P.S. I'm building up a hardtail for some stuff, specifically skinnies and urban, so I want to build my Bullit for stuff where I actually need suspension).
One more note: I'm 5'7" and about 140, so not petite but not as strong as the boys either.
