What the topic says, please. And are there any reasons I should get a 2004 over a 2003?

Also, are there any other 5" travel forks with 32mm stantions, that are v-brake compatable? I'm cheaply building up a long travel trail ride/light freeride bike with a frame I've had sitting around, and I'm throwing on a spare set of xtr v's and non-disk wheels I have, for the moment.

Thanks,

Kevin

I believe the dropouts are beefier for 2004 vs. 2003 - but other than that I don't think are any major differences between model years.

good price.

otherwise I can suggest www.mtnhighcyclery.com; i think they're selling 125Rs for around $350.
The guy who runs it hangs out on Mtbr some. He's great to deal with... a buddy of mine has ordered 2 forks from him. He will set up the fork for your weight and check the oil for free.

Drop Allen at Dropnzone.com a line, either via email or phone, he can probably hook you up with an awesome deal

I second the recommendation for mtnhighcyclery - Larry (owner) is great to deal with, nothing but praise for him from dozens of customers on MTBR, and he has great prices (530$ for 2004 Z150 is just one example).

I'll third the recommendations for Larry: good prices, super service, and very knowledgeable.

If you're looking for best price, though, check out eBay. I've seen 'em for around $300.

where?

We've got the R for 369 w/ free shipping and the RLC for 455 w/free shipping. If you can find it cheaper we'll usually match it.

The place mplutodh talked about has some killer prices...check them out. Also, is it right plugging you own company? I am just asking and am not trying to start a heated debate, but Im sure that everyone doesnt want to see people throwing prices all over this forum. If you have a company maybe it would be better just to include it in your signature. I am curious to see what others think, might be a good topic.

Nothing wrong about it IMO, if someone specifically asks for a price, offering your services is a good idea. As long as people don't put up unsolicated posts with prices, it's all good, no?
Especially when someone is first a forum member, and only as a far second is a store owner/employee.
