I'm at a bit of a quandry...
I managed to blag a free frame.. a Viking Ally one that's nice and light, but it had nothing on it. I was going to use all the odd bits of components I had lying around, but nothing fits (They're all cheap and nasty bits). SOrted a cheap headset, but now looking for a set of forks, and here's the thoughts...
Do I go rigid and keep the whole thing really light, or do I chuck some bouncy-bouncy one on to save my poor old wrists?
As ever the budget is approximately Zilch ;-)

FWIW you can pick up cheap suspension forks, you can sometimes grab a set of manitous for £20ish. Sure rigid and big tyres will work but factor in wide rims to stop the blancmange feeling and the costs go up! Soo set of branded but cheap sussers 2.1 tyres and regular wheels is todays opinion!
