Hi, it's going to be staying with this build.
i personally think its cheaper to buy a second hand (or sometimes new) shock, but if you have he cash to splash for a service you can get it fine tuned to your needs
eg. my fox float (165mm i2i) will cost around £80 for a service whereas looking around, a new marzocchi or rock shox one can be had for that or a second hand float which doesnt need service for around £40 :roll:

i didnt mean to ignore your pm intentionally, but i'll get back to you by the end of the week when ive decided how much its worth
the bearings i think are quite good. theyre well greased and seem to turn smoothly, though it hasnt been used for quite some time, so i cant really comment on the state of the bushes either. though the bike it came from was well cared for

Tried to get hold of a new chainstay to replaced the cracked one. Specialized replied back saying that they no longer have any parts for these DH frames anymore. BETD also through up a blank for parts but said his friend has a white FSR DH 99, full frame for sale for £250..
So I bought the FSR GC frame from inittowinit from here as it came with a bare chainstay, the same one as I needed, as a spare.. I then also bought the rear clip from SEANSTEPHENS as it was complete with bearings.
So that chainstay was attached to the stronger DH seatstay, and I now have a spare chainstay and a GC frame for sale ; - )
Also...
I bought the Marzocchi Junior T 130mm forks from haydnw, again from this forum!

The chainsaty with the smaller hole is the cracked one. See how it goes with the other + have a spare ;-) Might try to get the smaller holed one repaired too.
