Unfortunately the steerer on the suntour forks is 5mm too short to use (dammit), so having to use a set of chili works 318 forks i was given awhile ago until i find a nice set for it.
I also managed to successfully get round the red route at Sherwood Pines on Monday in one piece (with the rigid forks fitted).
Was a right blast, especially on the bermed sections and those cheapo kenda tyres grip like s**t to a shovel in the mud, was gonna get rid but think I'll keep them as my mud tyres.

Based on the fact that it's an Atlanta edition, I think the bike's from 1996, so "properly" retro!
Hey! I have one of these in my garage that hasn't been used for the last 15 years. I'm thinking about doing it up - I've never fixed a bike up before so not sure where to start, I know I want to replace the suspension fork with a stiff one but haven't a clue where to start looking for one. Do you know where I should start looking/what size I would need please? It is a 19.5" frame. Thanks!
