Thanks again guy's, yeah gotta do something about that handle and avitar.
Anders, I did weigh the frame, 7 lbs 4 oz. and considering the weight of the Romic shock thats not to bad. I kinda compare the weight of the frame to that of the 575 which everyone seems to think is to light for a all-mountain frame, the small 575 weighed 6.1 and the med 575 of my freinds weighed 6.3 pounds. Remove the Romic in and put in a 5th Air shock you will end up 6.3 pound 5 Spot. If someone wanted, not me of course, a 26lb or less 5 Spot could be done, basing this on my freinds 26 pound med. 575, because of the parts build I perfer and the fact I like to hit things, (ok,ok, I dont ride danty, I hammer through things like I did on my dirtbikes) I usually build up bikes a bit on the heavy side. My small 575 was over 30 pounds! One reason to go with the Spot, everyone rave's how tough they are, my Spot will probably be like most here, about 30-32 pounds. Thats if I go with a lighter fork down the road too, I have either a 03 Z1 FR or a 03 Sherman Firefly with 20mmTA, so my current forks are not the lightest stuff.
Any comments reguarding which fork I should use?
