Would I be burned at the stake for fitting 2003/4 forks to a '97' frame? :shock:
Nope, your bike, your rules. I've done worse: 07 fox on a 93 rts and 93 dbr axis TT. Look and work brilliantly imho.
 
I ran mine with 425mm Salsa Cromoto forks.

So effectively an 80mm squish fork.

I wouldn't have wanted longer.

IIRC the Saracen segmented fork I had was either 400 or 415mm AtoC

Not sure if that helps?

Lovely smooth riding frames :xmas-cool:
 
Here's mine (now drystonepaul's!) on SIDs, felt superb... but I can't honestly remember if they were 80 or 100mm... to play it safe definitely stick to 80mm

Its looking like 80mm for the Kili, next is do I stick to Retro or slightly modern (1997/98 Marzocchi Z.2 or 2003/04 Fox F80 RLT) Im leaning towards the Fox's. I wanting a very functional XC whippet :twisted:
