Ok so I have just picked up my first single speed frame its modern (Sanderson soloist thanks Rotwild 1 :cool: )

I am actually sat with just the frame at the moment , I have some wheels and hopefully promise of some brakes and have bars,stem seatpost etc but needing forks .... I cannot decide to go down the rigid route or have some bounce?

With my recent troubles with forks (x2 needing service :LOL: ) I am temped by the fit and forget route but also on the other hand quite fancy the idea of some bounce as its sole use will being bashed around the forest of dean on the roots of hell !! :LOL:

Your thoughts please? Also recommended chainsets would be good :cool:

Cheers

Oh if its for trail duties id say bounce.

Maybe something with lockout?

The rock shox range seems to have something to cater to everyone right now.

Im a marz fan...
