Upgrade the frame first.

I would say to start with a new camera and computer for your mad photoshop skills
Just got a 66RC2X and its nice, but still needs to be broken in and I can't comment on its durability. Manitou products in my experience have been garbage. I don't know if the Travis lineup is any better but I've been soured. The new RockShox Totem looks promising and I've had excellent luck with my Pike. Don't get a Pike though, its not a good match up for a freeride frame or your photoshop style of riding. Its more of an excellent all mountain style fork. Good luck with whatever you do, clearly you're rich enough to not regret whatever you purchase.

I'm paying all but $200 of it, and that's money my dad's giving me so he can have my fork.I don't think my car savings fund is going too well, having ammassed a whopping twelve cents and a piece of lint. That's because I like my bike too much. I'm not rich.
I just work my ass off at near minimum wage and am willing to spend whatever it takes to get the bike parts I want.
Well, not really, I don't have enough to buy a new bike yet, but I don't want one that much anyways.
Not sure what you mean by the photoshop references there, because I have done everything I have said I have, and none of the pictures you've seen of me have had anything done to them except saturation, color levels, contrast and the like. Sequences being obvious exceptions. Hope you're kidding, and not actually listening to the **** the reed's kids say about me...

And I'm seriously not rich...

You don't need a new bike. You already have a KHS, and you said yourself that all four bars are the same. Just buy yourself a new shock, you know, the same one that the high dollar frame guys use to justify their expensive frames. I can't believe the gall of some of those frame makers, who think they can charge what they do for just another four bar.DelTaco said:
I got it today. Props to Full Cycles for the amazing turnaround. Ordered it Friday afternoon and recieved it Tuesday at approximately noon.

I opened the box and nearly dumped in my pants when I saw the bag. It's sweet!
The marzocchi name is actually embroidered into it, so it's a high quality fork bag. I'm not entirely or really at all sure why you would want a fork bag, but I do have to admit that it is pretty sweet looking.
As for the fork, I couldn't believe the awesomeness I was holding in my hands.
I'm not entirely sure I like the way the air caps work, and they seem like they'd be real easy to lose, but the idea behind them is sound. Otherwise, everything on the fork looks top notch. And the crown will clear my downtube, so no worries there...
I am somewhat bummed that it is a post mount brake setup, but only because my current brakes are not, so I need to spend $20 to get the 8" adapters. I just wish they had built the fork with the 8" post mounts already on it, because who runs a 7" fork with 6" rotors?
And is it normal that the first few times you compress it, it sounds like a dying giraffe, or some other sound that makes me want to cry?
