gotta email the guy, but i bet he has a few 66 forks
Not only do I support this idea, I will help however I can.
Pretty sure I saw a 66 on PB the other day for like $150
Ok...more than I remembered (by a lot), but might be worth a low-ball offer:

@jonKranked, lmgtfy:
"no way i would ever buy something so noodly that the lizurds are subliminally pushing on the masses. now you're on the kill list, beotch! send me some triple ipas to make up for it!!!!1!1!1!111eleventy1!1"
fat guy needs a fat guy standard.
fun fact: i was looking at the classes for the transy-lvania stage race. according to them i could register for clydesdale lol
How's it feel, fat fuck?
Doo it. How much longer until they are ready to accompany you?
Hmm, what else shall I acquire to complete the world's best OG bike?
@jstuhlman going back to your offer on a serious note.... appreciate it but I'm actually leaning towards a coil, though still going back and forth. I went coil in the rear for big hit/durability reasons, and am thinking the same for the front.
What's nice is the RXF38 coming out is not only stiffer (logically), but is available in 180mm in the coil, something the RXF36 coil doesn't offer (160 or 170 max I think). And the coil seems to do better than their air in most reviews I've seen. So it seems very tempting....

my son will be 6 in march, so i'd guess maybe a few more years. he's already about outgrown his 16" wheeled bike
Hadley hubs, double track rims and 3.0 Gazzi's, obviously. Hayes Mag brakes. Azonic love seat.
you laugh, but there's a vintage DH group i belong to on FB that goes nuts on this kind of stuff. there's some guy making replica seismic hubs
You could just get a NOS frame and be like @Nick!
Turner RFX 27.5" Full Suspension Frame
Turner RFX 27.5" Full Suspension Frame The Turner RFX, first introduced in 1999, began life as one of the first purpose-built ‘free ride’ bikes renowned for excellent descending manners and efficient pedaling in a world where few bikes could do both. Subsequent models set new standards for...

MRP guide. Race Face Diabolus cranks (I actually have some of these laying around).
Who's laughing?
Unfortunately I think all pictures of my Norco and Banshee from back in the hucker days have been lost when our local NE bike site went down. Pure ridiculousness, but loved every fucking second of it

I have a bunch of pictures from BITD, though mostly after we got our Turners.
My Bullet.
Hoooooly moley! 
i have an MRP world cup, and some NOS wet screams
i have an NOS 5th element for a vp free i got directly from santa cruz for something absurd like $25
You'd have different thoughts if you actually had any elevation change on your rides instead of just tooling along and hucking 5' to (obviously) flat ground.
thought about it, nope. i'd rather use a dinner plate cassette
local old skool dude here still stubbornly sticks by his bullit. here is a pic he posted from snowshoe last week. at least it's root beer!
@CrabJoe StretchPants - i hear ya. the rc2 36 is the closest i've gotten to a coil since my last vanilla, fwiw

^^^ that is sick
I thought those had really fragile swing arms. Surprised to see them being ridden.
Says they guy with enough e-voltage to power a Ringling Brothers scale vibrator for the Fat Lady.
Oh god. Atom Lab wheels. If they weren't giving me free wheels and rims, I never would have ridden them. I was rebuilding wheels every other weekend because they were so fucking soft. I had to have a practice wheelset and a race wheelset (which were the same) just to make sure I didn't destroy a wheel during practice and not have one for my race run.
Those were probably the most common bike you saw around here during the hucking glory days, and they all seemed to hold up really well. I've seen some dudes ride the absolute shit out of them (racing rough DH courses and some ridiculous drops) and don't ever recall seeing one break in person.
There were a ton of cars in the lot when I got there at 5ish. When I got to the trail split I took the one that had the least amount of packed down leaves and only ran into 2 other hikers. Got to the top just a wee bit past sunset. Night hike back down. Three hours of some much need time in the woods.
I have a buddy with an old AS-X that just won't die. We ran the math on him getting a new bike vs. upgrading his bike to modern, and the math was to the side of upgrading. Put on a 36 (top model), tubeless wheelset, dropper post, avalanche rebuilt shock, new drivetrain ex-cranks, etc. Weighs right around 33#, rides awesome for him, and just won't fucking die.
If what you have works and isn't holding you back - ride it.
To this day, I'm still bummed the Turner Highline wound up being such a turd. That bike was comparable to the VP Free (came out the same time I think, ~'08?), and would have been a really fun in-between a trail bike and full blown DH bike.
Yeah, there was a freeride group in BC that rode Bullets with Monster Ts. Massive drops off buildings and the like.
you were a prime candidate for an uzzi...as long as you got one that was somewhat aligned...or an sx trail
I just remember a bunch of broken swing arm threads back in the day. Could have been some breaking quickly, but if not lasting forever, which is indicative of a good design with bad quality control, which Santa Cruz wasn't known for at the time.
