C ChrisR Retro Guru Feedback View Jun 7, 2012 #15 Currently hunting suitable front forks. Looking at Rock shox pike - 140mm travel 20mm maxle, Rock shox reba rl - 120mm 20mm maxle. Pikes are my preferred choice but we shall see. Any other suggestions? 120-140mm travel and preferably 20mm axle.

The 04 ones are all black as well with gold adjusters....

There are 20mm versions of the Z1 Freerides etc...not sure how common they are (a few mates of mine ran them on Ms Ilse's and they looked good. There are also 140mm versions of the 55....with 20mm axles.
