I only picked up the fork.

 

[JRB]

I wanted the eccentric version for a bit. Did you sell the MKIII???

*I should buy that instead of my Reign.

**I guess I shouldn't. They seem fairly steep in the front.

I saw one of those Zion 853 EBB frames at Ray's last weekend. Looked pretty nice.

That spot of oil by the fork is a bad sign.

Wow, they were riding it there... ?

Well I was told it "leaks more than average" I wish I had noticed that before.

Pretty much any fork you buy used, unless it says "perfect condition", you might as well plan on getting it rebuilt.

 

[jacksonpt]

ooooh, nice. I wouldn't have thought a reba would have fit the whole "budget build" thing.

Budget went up when I sold a schit ton of parts.

Pretty much, buying broken parts makes me a better bike mechanic.

parts that would have paid for a wedding cake, or a few bacon-wrapped scallops?

Hey we got the wedding covered!

[Angus]

Can't wait to see the build, the zion is a great frame for the $$, enjoy!

Stosh - nice acquisition. Your Zion is going to look stellar!!

Thanks man, it's going to be a nice build.

Well I was told it "leaks more than average" I wish I had noticed that before.

Considering that the reba is an Airfork. Oil really isn't a concern in my opinion.

If it rides anything like the pike it should be a very pleasant experience with the fork.

 

[Ciaran]

**I guess I shouldn't. They seem fairly steep in the front.

Yes, but it slackens out a bit after you put a Monster T on it.

 

[robdamanii]

Stosh, it isn't black....

 

[Polandspring88]

So where on the Zion does the air shock fit?

 

[douglas]

I only picked up the fork.

was the shock just too heavy?

 

[stosh]

Stosh, it isn't black....

Well I'm not a fashion whore and this was a great deal. It's grey so it's close enough.

THat was funny!

It's actually really silver gray. It'll look pretty nice on there regardless though.

You should see the one in my basement neaky:

I think so!

I also was only kidding about it leaking oil earlier. It was sold "as new" so we'll see how it looks when it comes.
Might be here Friday if I'm lucky!!!

That spot looks more like tard drool than oil....

 

[JRB]

It'll be fine, stosh. If it does leak, RS forks are easy to service, and that would only be a crush washer allowing a leak at the bottom of the leg. Well - that or a crack in the casting. No worries. And yes - it will look nice.

It doesn't leak and the oil on the floor was a joke. Next time I'm croping the pic.

Not yet....still putting the finishing touches on him. Plus, I haven't decided on a fork yet so he's a little naked.
