Hello Fellow Riding Primates-
About 10 years ago, the missus and I were just getting started in the downhill/freeride scene, then life hit us.
Needed to go to college, get a career, get a car, get home. . . yada, yada, yada.
Now the wifey wants to get back on her bike (2003 Specialized Bighit Comp, size small) and me not being a bike mechanic will be bringing her bike to one of our local bike shop for some TLC in a couple of weeks. But I'm kinda worried about her Marzocchi Dirt Jumper ll fork and Fox Vanilla rear shock being shot after being stored away for so long and I was wondering if you folks could give me some replacement suggestions?
She doesn't want to spend too much $$$ on these items, in fact what ever recommendations you folks make, I'll be checking out our local Craiglist, Ebay, bike classifieds and anywere I can get a great deal.
Oh, getting a new bike for her is outta the question
By the way, the missus is 5'4" and weighs around 140lbs. after she uses the bathroom.
Thanks to all those who reply.
