Re:
Wow! Impressive skip find. :shock:
That's one of the anniversary ones from 1998 (ish) by the looks of it. They did the classic orange/white fade too.
A Pace RC36 would go very nicely with that. Or for something 'out there' Girvin Vectors used to be an option from Orange.

Re:
It's 1998-1999 and the colour is Slime Green. (The frame number will give you the year of manufacture)
I had one in orange-white fade and they are great frames.
Kind of miss it now.

Thanks I just want to get up the quantock hills and hav a go now
Well done on the skip rescue. Amazing what people throw out. :facepalm:
63mm-80mm travel is what you need:
The Pace is good for the Brit theme,
Marzocchi Z3 or Z2 works very well and still has good spares availability
Manitou SX works well, reliable, lighter than the Z3; seems unloved and always cheap.
Rockshox SID - but seems to be rather expensive for what you get in my view.
Fox 80mm is the modern alternative

It seems that way yes ha ha I had Ian at star bikes put new tyers seat brakes and cables on and a dam good clean just the old rst are rubbish so I was looking out for some 2nd hand front shock that will work well on itstreet":2wh7uhu4 said:Is your mate mental?! :shock:
Damn nice save. Once you've got a fork sorted it looks ready to hit the trails and it should be a great performer too
